*Kicks against inflammatory statements..
The Kogi State Government wishes to commend the Joint Security Taskforce consisting of the Nigerian Police, DSS, the Military and NSCDC for their commitment to ensuring security across the State.
This is as State Governor, His Excellency, Alh. Yahaya Bello, CON, has further reiterated his determination to make Kogi the most peaceful state in the federation by continuing to empower security agencies to protect lives and property.
In a Press Release signed by Kingsley Fanwo, Commissioner for Information and Communication and made available to Treasure times on Sunday warns political class against making reckless statements that could undermine security in the state.
He said the government will ensure that the responsibility to keep the people safe is not jeopardised by unbridled political desperation by the enemies of Kogi state.
He 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.
According to him “We urge our people to go about their normal businesses. Over the last eight years, the Yahaya Bello Administration has created a population of Kogites who are united, unselfish, altruistic and patriotic. We will finish strong.
” 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. From Egbe to Kotonkarfe; Lokoja to Ibaji; Bassa to Okene; we are prepared to defend the rights of our people to peace and security.
