The Katsina State Government has approved the sum of N560 million for the purchase of security equipment for personnel of the newly-established Security Watch Corps in the State.
In a statement signed and made available to Hotpen by the Chief Press Secretary to Katsina Governor, Ibrahim Kaula Mohammed, said the approval is coming ahead of the graduation of about 1,500 youths recruited as personnel of the Katsina Security Watch network.
The statement explained that the graduating personnel of the Security Watch would use part of the combat equipment, intended to augment that of the conventional security agencies in the State, in fighting bandits and other criminals.
