The modernization drive began just months after the inauguration. In November 2019, the government approved ₦832.65 million for the procurement of 100 Kia Rio automatic transmission vehicles, which were branded and distributed to the Nigeria Police Force and the joint security task force, Operation Burst. 

 

To support these vehicles, the administration also approved ₦178.7 million for sophisticated digital radio communication equipment, allowing officers to coordinate more effectively across the state's 33 local governments. Unlike previous years, the state also took over the routine maintenance and fueling of these fleets to ensure they remained on active patrol.

With the launch of the Oyo State Security Network Agency (Amotekun) in late 2020, the logistics effort scaled up significantly. In December 2020, the Governor handed over 33 pick-up vehicles and 396 motorcycles to the corps, with the specific instruction that each of the state's 351 wards must feel the impact of the patrol teams.

By April 2022, another 100 operational vehicles were added to the Amotekun fleet to strengthen their capacity in rural areas and border communities. These vehicles were equipped with dual-communication systems linked directly to the Onireke Security Control Room, facilitating real-time intelligence sharing.

 

 

In addition to mobility, the "modern equipment" component included the integration of the 615 toll-free emergency line and the deployment of CCTV surveillance at strategic junctions in the capital. 

 

By the end of the term, the combination of a refreshed vehicle fleet, specialized motorcycles for difficult terrains, and a functional digital communication backbone had fundamentally upgraded the state's crime-fighting posture.
