The Kaduna State Government has purchased 150 vehicles and 500 motorcycles to be distributed to security agencies in the state to fight banditry.

The government stated that the purpose of the purchases was to support the security agencies operating in the state in their fight against the criminal elements terrorizing residents.

At the commissioning of the vehicles and motorcycles tagged "Operation Fushin Kada," the state Governor, Senator Uba Sani, emphasized that the government would continue to protect the lives of the residents by providing all necessary support to security agencies in the state.

He also expressed his administration's full support for the creation of state police, commending the federal lawmakers from the state for supporting the cause.
