Kebbi CP Tightens Security At NYSC Camp
The Commissioner of Police in Kebbi State, CP Bello M. Sani, on Monday intensified security measures at the National Youth Service Corps orientation camp in Basaura, Jega Local Government Area, as part of what he described as a “proactive approach to protecting corps members.”
Sani, who visited the camp alongside his management team, charged the combined security agencies on ground to maintain high alertness and avoid complacency.
“You must remain vigilant at all times. Do not cluster in one place—move around, observe your surroundings, and work as a team,” he told the personnel during the operational briefing.
He stressed the need for seamless collaboration among all units, noting that inter-agency synergy is critical to ensuring a peaceful and hitch-free orientation exercise.
“Show commitment, support one another, and strengthen your cooperation with other security agencies and camp officials. This is how we guarantee a safe environment for our corps members,” Sani said.
The commissioner also held a closed-door meeting to review the camp’s existing security architecture.
The session was attended by top stakeholders, including the Kebbi State Commissioner for Internal Security, Alhaji Haliru Wasagu; the Security Adviser to the Governor, Col. Hassan Ribah (retd.); the State NYSC Coordinator, Alhaji Bala Kagarko; Commanding Officer of 36 PMF Birnin Kebbi, ACP Aliyu Jega; and the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Operations, ACP Auwal Yakubu.
According to the Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Nafi’u Abubakar Kotarkoshi, critical issues around safety, early warning systems, and rapid response were discussed to further strengthen the camp’s resilience.
The visit underscores the command’s renewed commitment to safeguarding corps members as they commence their national service in Kebbi State.
