The Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai has pledged support for the families of slain officers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
El-Rufai made the pledge when the Commandant General of NSCDC, Dr Ahmed Audi, visited him at the Government House, Kaduna, following the incident.
Recall that operatives of the NSCDC were killed in Birnin Gwari Local Government Area by bandits a few weeks ago.
He sympathised with the families and promised to provide support in terms of logistics, operational equipment, and working tools to improve its operation.
According to a statement signed by the Public Relations Officer of the Service, Olusola Odumosu, Governor el-Rufai lamented that the activities of bandits and incidences of attacks on innocent citizens have become worrisome.
He promised to enhance the closeness of security services to the grassroots and accessibility to the people by directing all local government chairmen to build more outposts for the corps in their councils.
