“I will ensure that all police in Kano have operational vehicles, and I am going to do that insha Allah.” he declared.

“The significance of this initiative extends far beyond the motorcycles themselves, it speaks volumes to the profound impact that strategic partnerships and community support can have on the effectiveness and vitality of our law enforcement efforts,” he said.
