Gov. Babagana Zulum of Borno has presented 50 patrol vehicles and 300 motorcycles to the Nigerian Army, police and volunteers to enhance counter-insurgency operations in the state.
Mr Zulum, who presented the vehicles on Friday in Maiduguri, said those to benefit from the gesture include the military, police and other security agencies as well as the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), hunters and vigilantes.
He lauded the security agencies for their commitment towards peace restoration to the state and assured them of sustained support.
