Benue donates 16 vehicles to security agencies

   The Benue State government has presented 16 Hilux vans to security agencies in the state in order to boost their fight against crime.

    Governor Samuel Ortom who made the presentation to the heads of security agencies in the state, noted that the gesture would help to stem the tide of unwarranted killings and criminalities. "There can be no meaningful progress without security. My government will continue to work hard to provide security for lives and property in the state," he said.

    Ortom said that the vehicles would be distributed among the Police, Army, Civil Defence and the Department of State Security (DSS) to be used for patrols in four strategic locations of Kastina-Ala, Gboko, Makurdi and Otukpo local government areas of the state respectively.  The governor added that the donation of the vehicles would henceforth step up surveillance and curtail crimes across the state as he pledged the continued support of his administration to secure the state so that investors will be confident to do their businesses without fear or molestation.
