The Commissioner said :
“Intelligence reports indicate that criminal elements have been using the market as a hideout, often in collaboration with some truck drivers who park along the roadside.

“This situation poses a significant security threat to the Confluence University of Science and Technology, Osara, and the broader Osara community.

“To ensure strict compliance, the State Government has given market operators and truck drivers a one-week grace period, starting today, to adhere to these directives.

“After this period, enforcement will be fully implemented.

“His Excellency, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, the Governor of Kogi State, has directed the Secretary to the Government of Kogi State to officially communicate this order to all relevant parties, including law enforcement agencies, to ensure seamless compliance.

“Additionally, the Governor has tasked the Office of the State Security Adviser with overseeing security operations in the affected areas during and after the grace period.

“The Kogi State Government reassures residents of its unwavering commitment to safeguarding their lives and property.

“Proactive measures will continue to be taken to ensure that criminal activities are eradicated, leaving no room for lawlessness in the state.

“We also extend our gratitude to the citizens for their vigilance and active participation in the community-driven security framework.

“Your efforts in providing timely intelligence and activating grassroots security networks are invaluable to the success of our collective mission to keep Kogi safe.”. (vitalnewsngr.com)
