The management of Dawanau International Grains Market in Dawakin Toda Local Government Area of Kano State has taken a step to secure the market by engaging over 800 additional security personnel.
The President of the market association, Alhaji Muntaka Isa, told the News Agency of Nigeria ( NAN) in a telephone interview on Monday that the measure would effectively protect the market from vandalism and theft.
Isa highlighted the collaborative efforts of the Nigerian Army, Police, and state security agencies, which have significantly enhanced the market’s security.
He said an additional 400 vigilance group members were working alongside the security personnel to safeguard the market.
The market has faced threats from hoodlums in neighbouring areas, such as Kurnan Asabe and Bachirawa, who had attempted to enter and steal food items forcefully.
To counter this, the market has hired 400 vigilance group members to support the security agencies.
Isa said the market’s management was committed to supporting the security personnel deployed to protect public buildings against vandalism.
Isa further urged the residents of the neighbouring communities to assist the security personnel by providing credible information on the movement of hoodlums.
According to him, this is with the view to ensuring the safety and security of the market, its public and its critical stakeholders.
