The APCs were officially handed over to the state by the Kebbi State Commissioner of Police, Bello Muhammad Sani, during a brief ceremony at the Government House in Birnin Kebbi.

He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to supporting security operations across Kebbi.

Following the presentation, Commissioner Sani led Governor Idris on an inspection tour of the newly delivered APCs. The inspection aimed to assess the readiness and capabilities of the vehicles ahead of their deployment to high-risk areas within the state.
