Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has said that community policing was a better option to tackle internal security in the state.
The governor disclosed this while inspecting thousands of cattle and other property recovered from rustlers at Kwanar Dangora on Sunday in kano.
He, called on all stakeholders to join hands to ensure the success of the community policing initiative to ensure safe and secure communities, adding that community participation would expose many ills in the society.
He advised that the prevention of crime in the society should be a collaborative effort between the police and members of the community. The governor said the state government had set up a committee to return the cattle to their genuine and rightful owners.
“The collaboration between the community and police is the cardinal ingredient of community-oriented policing or community-policing,” he said.
