The Executive Chairman of Langtang North Local Government Area, Hon. Pirfa Tyem, has presented 15 motorcycles to security agencies operating in the area to improve patrols, rapid response, and surveillance.
The initiative targets a range of security actors, including the Nigeria Police Force, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Nigerian Correctional Service, local vigilante groups, and other sister agencies.
The presentation was carried out by former Senator and Plateau South senatorial aspirant, Napoleon Bali, who praised the Chairman for taking proactive steps to strengthen grassroots security.
Speaking at the event, Tyem said the decision came after consultations with security service chiefs following reports of petty theft and motorbike snatching in some parts of the local government area.
He explained that the terrain of Langtang North makes it difficult for patrol vehicles to operate effectively in certain communities, and motorcycles would allow officers to respond more quickly.
“These motorcycles will improve mobility for security personnel, particularly in areas where patrol vehicles find it difficult to operate,” Tyem said.
The Chairman also urged residents to provide timely and credible information to security agencies, emphasizing that security is a collective responsibility.
Julfa Joel, the Chief Security Officer to the Chairman, said the initiative was the outcome of strategic engagements with security stakeholders and would address identified gaps in mobility.
CSP Benjamin B. Aboi, the Divisional Police Officer, assured that the motorcycles would be effectively deployed to strengthen operational capacity across the local government area.
The event brought together senior council officials, security chiefs, community leaders, and other stakeholders, reflecting a shared commitment to improving safety in Langtang North.
