Niger state Governor, Mohammed Umaru Bago, has announced a robust initiative to support the Nigerian Police Force in their efforts to combat crime within the state.
This commitment includes the provision of Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC), Gun Trucks, and various operational vehicles to bolster the force’s capabilities and enhance security measures.
Governor Bago made this promise during the official commissioning of the state-of-the-art Police Divisional Headquarters in Chanchaga Local Government Area of the state, which operates under the jurisdiction of the Niger State Command.
The structure, a generous donation from the Niger State Government, replaces the former facility that was situated above a critical water pipeline, affecting water supply to more than 200 households.

Speaking passionately about his administration’s dedication to the safety and security of Niger State residents, Governor Bago pledged unwavering commitment to this cause while stressing the pressing need for additional personnel to effectively combat criminal activities.
Governor Bago said “comprehensive plans are already in motion to provide support to the families of security agents who have paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving their duty.”
He urged security agencies in the state to adopt a proactive stance in their responsibilities and called upon citizens to actively cooperate by sharing valuable security intelligence.
Commissioner of Police, Niger State Command, Ogundele Ayodeji, expressed gratitude for the new Police Divisional Headquarters, emphasizing its role in motivating law enforcement officers to better serve the community.
Commissioner Ayodeji commended Governor Bago for his administration’s unwavering support towards ensuring the security of lives and property in Niger State.
However, he appealed for continued support, highlighting the critical and costly nature of security investments.
Governor Umaru Bago’s decision to demolish the former Police Divisional Headquarters in Chanchaga, as declared in his inaugural executive order, has now come to fruition with the unveiling of this modern facility.
This move reflects the government’s commitment to fortifying law enforcement and security measures within the state, ultimately paving the way for progress and development.
