We’ll Make Kwara Unlivable For Criminals, Kidnappers-Gov AbdulRazaq
Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to protecting lives and property of residents of Kwara State while declaring that nowhere in the state will be safe for criminal elements, including kidnappers.
A statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Rafiu Ajakaye noted that he said this after presiding over a security council meeting in Ilorin on Tuesday night.
Following the recent attack in Oke Ode, the governor moved swiftly to brief President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, during which he once again, presented request for additional deployment of security personnel to raid the hideouts.
‘The Army Headquarters has since relocated the General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the 2nd Division to Ilorin as part of the renewed efforts to strengthen security operations in the state.
On Monday night, combined forces of the Army, DSS and Police launched an offensive around Baba Sango, along the Kwara–Kogi border, neutralising about 15 armed bandits. The same operation continued on Tuesday. I also presided over the State Security Council meeting at Ahmadu Bello House, Ilorin, yesterday night, to integrate state and federal assets into a single strategy for both Kwara North and South’ the statement quoted the governor as saying.
Governor AbdulRazaq also assured residents of Kwara State that his administration would not relent in supporting security agencies to keep every community safe.
‘I have assurances of the security forces to smoke out and eliminate the criminals from their hideouts. We will fight insecurity with every resource at our disposal. Kwara will not be a hiding place for criminals. To any criminal who seeks to destabilize the peace in Kwara, you may run, but you cannot escape justice. Kwara belongs to its people, and their peace will be defended’ the governor added-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
