Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo of Kogi State has ordered all illegal trailer parks in the state a one-month ultimatum to vacate their present locations.
Ododo said no trailer park will be allowed to operate illegally in any part of the state after the ultimatum.
The governor who gave the directive at an event in Lokoja noted that security remains critical to the wellbeing of citizens.
Ododo raised concerns over the security risks posed by trailer parks at Zariagi and Osara, which, he said have become criminal hideouts according to intelligence reports.
He said criminal elements disguising as truck drivers have been using the trailer parks to breach the state’s security.
The governor then directed security agencies to ensure full enforcement of the order.
He said the measure is necessary to deny criminals any safe haven and strengthen security operations across Kogi State.
