The governor congratulated the military over their commitment in flushing out cattle rustlers and other criminals out of Falgore forest, in Doguwa local government area, expressing happiness that the army has now established a training ground in the forest.
“I recommended to the President that the Army should have a base in the forest and I also spoke with the Chief of Army Staff in that direction. I am happy to report that today, they have chased away criminals from the forest and have set up a training ground”, he stressed.

‎In his speech, ‎Brig.-Gen. Olufemi Tunde Akinjobi thanked the state government for the donation and for constructing a 30 room hostel at Bukavu Barracks in the state capital, describing such gestures as a demonstration of efforts at keeping Kano at peace.

“Security is a common goal and only that government which realizes the importance of security musters the courage to provide vehicles to ‎security agencies. This government is serious in tackling security issues and we promise to make judicious use of these vehicles”, he emphasized.
