Kano state police command has commenced retraining of its personnel in weapons handling with a view to preparing them to meet up with emerging security challenges in the state.

Kano Chronicle learnt that the exercise was an initiative of the State’s Commissioner of Police, Mr. Rabi’u Yusuf to build the capacity of the personnel against possible security threats.

Speaking during the shooting exercise in Kalibawa, Dawakin Tofa local government area, Police Public Relations Officer, SP Magaji Musa Majia commended the CP for his foresight in initiating the exercise, assuring that men and officers of the command would reciprocate the gesture through dedication to their duties.

He thanked Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim K. Idris for approving the exercise, stressing that the training would continue until all officers and men of the command participated.

“The training is aimed at refreshing our shooting skills in case of any security threat. We have been undergoing this training for the past two weeks. We started with jugging, combat training, night operations, VIP escort, presidential escort, stripping and assembling of arms as well as shooting,” Majia said.

He therefore urged the public to be law abiding as the police strive to ensure security of lives and properties in the state.
