The IGP, however, urged the traditional rulers to take part in the recruitment process to ensure those recruited are of good character and indigenes of their local governments.
He said those trained will also be deployed to their respective communities for better policing.
“There is no better person who can provide proper policing than the person who knows the culture and tradition of the people”
The Emir of Dutse Dr. Nuhu Muhammad Sanusi, however, assured the traditional rulers’ commitment to supporting security agencies in the protection of the lives and properties of the citizens.
