IG said “I am calling on the new MPF 76 Squadron Commander to reciprocate the good gesture of the good people of Enugu State by ensuring adequate and robust security within this area.
“I will be donating an additional Hilux jeep to the new squadron, 10 AK-47, one general purpose machine gun, body armour and one Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) to be collected immediately from the Force Headquarters.
“On the Governor’s request, we will make efforts to deploy Special Forces to the state but you have to provide the needed accommodation for them.
