The Kano State Government has enrolled 380 youths into the State Corporate Security Institute in Gabasawa for paramilitary training aimed at curbing phone snatching, thuggery, and other related crimes across the state.
The Commandant of the institute, Captain Muhammad Mai Gaskiya (rtd), said the training programme is designed to equip participants with skills in phone snatching prevention, VIP protection, and defensive driving. He added that the exercise also includes lectures by officials from the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) and counselling sessions conducted by Hisbah personnel.
According to him, parade drills and physical fitness exercises are also key components of the training, intended to build discipline and resilience among the trainees.
Captain Mai Gaskiya urged the participants to take the training seriously, noting that upon successful completion, they would be absorbed as civil servants to support security operations and help maintain law and order in Kano State.
