Katsina Police activate school protection measures to boost safety across institutions

The Commissioner of Police in Katsina State, Bello Shehu, has directed the Coordinator of the School Protection Squad to activate all school protection mechanisms to improve the safety of students and staff across schools.

This was contained in a statement issued on Monday in Katsina by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Abubakar Aliyu.

He said the instruction was given during a meeting with tactical commanders to review the command’s general security strategies in the state. Shehu explained that the move aligns with the directive of the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, who asked police commands to prioritise the safety and security of educational institutions.

The commissioner ordered the deployment of additional resources to ensure stronger security, especially in schools across the state. He urged residents to continue supporting the command’s crime-fighting efforts to protect schools and communities.

Shehu also advised the public to promptly report suspicious activities or concerns using the command’s emergency lines: 08159677777, 07072722539, and 09022209690. (NAN)
