The Tide reported that the visit was aimed at strengthening security and the level of community participation in policing in the state.
“ My administration will continue to support the police in any way it can; we intend to provide farmlands to police officers who are posted here to serve in protecting the lives and property of our people.
“We want the police to contribute not only to peace and security but also to food security,”Bagudu said.
He commended the Police Command in the state for improving security and tackling the menace of cattle rustling and kidnapping in the state.
He said that before now, farmers in some parts of the state were scared of going to their farmers for fear of being kidnapped or having their cattle rustled.
The governor tasked the police to rise up to the challenge of processions of Shi’ite sect members, saying that the processions were a threat to peaceful co-existence among the various religious groups in the state.
He assured that the state government would consider the request for 50 hectres of land to construct 500 housing units for police officers in the state.
