Insecurity: Gov AbdulRazaq Discloses Plans To Chase Down ‘Criminal Elements’, Says Soldiers, Forest Guards ‘ll Be Deployed To Edu, Ifelodun LGs

Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq  of Kwara State has briefed key stakeholders in Lafiagi axis of Kwara North on the many efforts of the state government to rid the areas of criminal gangs involved in violent crimes there. 

A statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary Mr Rafiu Ajakaye, noted that the meeting held in Ilorin, the capital city, was attended by officials of the Lafiagi Descendants’ Development Union (LADDU) headed by Dr. Abdullahi Jibril Mohammed Lafiagi. 

The governor, the statement added, acknowledged the concerns of the communities and reassured them of the government-led multi-stakeholder response to the situation while disclosing that the Nigerian army has concluded arrangements to launch sustained operations in the forests identified as the fortress of the criminal gangs in Kwara North and Kwara South. 

The operations, the statement noted, would involve the newly trained forest guards in the isolated areas. 

‘These operations will rout the criminals out and force them to come out of their hideouts which will restore lasting calm in the affected areas, while care would be taken to prevent the violent elements from hibernating elsewhere. The government has been working with the Office of the National Security Adviser to eliminate these threats in parts of the state, especially in identified settlements in Ifelodun, Edu and Patigi local governments.

No one can dismiss the worries of our community folks. However, it is important to note that sensitive security issues require careful and realistic analysis of the situation, planning, and execution of plans for sustainable success’ the statement said-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
