Presenting the keys of the vehicles at the Cabinet Office, Birnin Kebbi, the Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Babale Umar-Yauri, said the gesture was aimed at giving further support to the tactical squad in curbing crime.

While appreciating the squad for its gallant effort toward curtailing insecurity in the nation, the SSG advised them to intensify efforts to stem the current insecurity bedeviling the country.
