Police Commissioner in Katsina State, Usman Abdullahi, says the command has a shortfall of 3,030 personnel

    This came as the Supervising Deputy Inspector-General of Police, North-West Zone, Maigari Dikko, called for empowerment of policemen to be more effective in the discharge of their duties instead of creating a peace corps.

   Speaking in Katsina, when Dikko visited the command, Abdullahi called for the establishment of additional Area Commands in Dutsin-ma and Malumfashi.
On his part, Dikko, who was also in Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara, said the states had peculiar challenges, noting that instead of creating mushroom organisation such as Peace Corps, the state governments should empower the Force with more funding to ensure more effective policing.
