Kebbi State Governor, Dr Nasir Idris, has taken another step to strengthen security in the state with the commencement of plans for a new Police Mobile Force base in Zuru, aimed at boosting efforts against banditry and other criminal activities in Kebbi South h.

The governor formally handed over land for the project to the contractor during a brief ceremony in Zuru, with the Emir of Zuru, His Royal Highness Alhaji Muhammad Sanusi Mika’ilu Sami Gomo III, performing the symbolic handover.

The land was received on behalf of the Kebbi State Commissioner of Police by the Divisional Police Officer, Chief Superintendent of Police Abubakar Ambursa on Friday.

The project is part of Governor Idris’ broader security intervention programme and fulfils a commitment he made during a recent visit to Zuru. It also follows his directive to security agencies to review and strengthen operational strategies in response to emerging security challenges across the state.

Speaking at the ceremony, the Emir of Zuru praised the governor for prioritising the safety of residents and supporting security agencies with critical resources.
