“The Jigawa state police command, under the leadership of CP Ahmadu Abdullahi, has added five Divisional Police Headquarters to supplement the 30 divisions. This brought the divisions to a total of 35 across the state.
“The command also plans to create another four divisions within the state. They are Yalwawa, Takur, Aujara and Fagam divisions. All are in an effort to bring the police closer to the public,” Mr Shiisu said.
