He said the head of the outfit, CSP Muhammad S. Shehu, was carefully selected to ensure delivery. “I am never disappointed, Shehu has done us proud by living up to our expectations and winning this award.”
Governor Buni commended security agencies in the state for the synergy and teamwork, which has grossly reduced the rate of crime across the state.
The commissioner, Yobe State Police Command, Garba Ahmed has while speaking commended the governor for establishing the Haba Maza outfit.
The outfit has remained a strong pillar of fighting crime in Damaturu the state capital and its environs.
“Your Excellency, we would appreciate extension of the outfit to other major towns in the state to help us curb crime,” he appealed.
