Bello salutes Security task force over successful operations against criminals in Kogi
IDRIS AHMED, LOKOJA.
Kogi state government has commended the joint Security task force over its commitment to purging the state of criminality.
The joint task force consisting of the Nigeria Police, Department of State Services (DSS), the Army, Navy and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), recently embarked on a fierce battle against criminal gangs terrorizing the people of the state.
A press release signed by the Commissioner of Information for Information and Communications Honourable Kinsley Fanwo, expressed the profound gratitude of the Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello for the feat achieved by the gallant joint Security task force.
He further reiterated the governor’s determination to make Kogi the most peaceful state in the federation by continuing to empower security agencies to protect lives and property.
According to the release, the State Government has cautioned the political class against making reckless statements that could undermine security in the state .
We will ensure that the responsibility to keep our people safe is not jeopardised by unbridled political desperation by the enemies of our dear state.
“Governor Yahaya Bello has assured security agencies of his ironcast support in their efforts at combating crime in the state in line with the Agenda of his administration.
” Politics is not a crime, but crime too is not politics. Anyone who threatens the peace of our dear state shall be made to face the full wrath of the law devoid of political, class, religious or ethnic considerations,” the Commissioner stated
The government therefore urge the people of the state to go about their normal businesses in view of the fact that over the last eight years, the Yahaya Bello administration has created a united and peaceful Kogi state.
“Our dear state holds a promise to greatness. We cannot afford to allow a few elements with no regard for human life reverse our sterling gains in the area of security”, the Commissioner said.
