The Kebbi State Government on Friday said it has remodelled some SUVs into armoured personnel carriers to help the Nigerian military check insecurity in the state.

“Toyota Land Cruiser (Buffalo) vehicles were remodelled into armoured personnel carriers with gun turrets through the engineering ingenuity of state’s deputy governor,” a government statement noted.

Yahaya Sarki, media aide to Kebbi Governor Atiku Bagudu, said the effort was meant to the security services in the fight against banditry in the state.

Mr Sarki said the effort was aimed at providing appropriate transport to security services for combat operations.

“The vehicles painted in army colour, were produced locally by the Deputy Governor of the State, retired Colonel Samaila Yombe Dabai, who is a retired military officer.

“Colenel Yombe told newsmen this Friday, that the vehicles have been reinforced with hardened steel and suitable for battle with provisions for a driver, a gunner and space for extra troops.

“The action was approved and ed by Governor Abubakar Atiku Bagudu towards providing transportation to combatants as a major requirement in warfare in securing the lives and property of the citizenry.

“The Deputy Governor described Kebbi State as the pace setter in the country in such innovative technology, which served as both cost effective measure and advancing Nigeria’s quest for technical know-how,” Mr Sarki said.

kebbi is one of the few states doing well in the north; especially in the areas of agriculture and security.

A typical force guy will assume those bonnets will be used to jam people who try to escape bribing them.


This future I have seen

Kidnapping and General insecurity in Kebbi and Zamfara is highest in Nigeria

Home of plenty tough bandits ... communities pay bandits befor farming.. and pay for security which same bandits will still kidnap .

If it’s for security... nice one.

If that’s the only possible way to loot funds then, no problem.

Zamfara is worst because the bandits operate at free will to the extend that the Nigeria army and police have come to agreement with the bandits that if we don't fight pls don't kill us. Army and police are the fighter while bandits are the killer.
