Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani say his administration has recruited 7,000 personnel into the state’s vigilante service to combat banditry throughout the state.
Speaking at the flag-off ceremony for the commencement of training for the 7,000 recruits at the police college, Kaduna, the governor said the recruits who were drawn from all the local government areas of the state, would be a major step towards fulfilling his promise to the good people of the state.
The training of the newly recruited vigilantes began hours after bandits attacked a local mosque in Ikara, killing worshippers.
Uba also directed all the security agencies to thouroughly investigate the reported killings of the worshippers.
He added that his administration’s blueprint is committed to strengthening the manpower and overall operational capacity of the Kaduna Vigilance Service (KADVS).
