KOGI STATE GOVERNMENT PRESS STATEMENT

KOGI STATE GOVERNMENT CLARIFIES ONGOING SECURITY OPERATIONS IN SOME PARTS OF WESTERN SENATORIAL DISTRICTS

1. The Kogi State Government wishes to inform the general public about recent, rigorous security operations carried out by a combined team of security agencies. The operations, which took place in identified security flashpoints within Mopamuro, Kabba/Bunu, Ijumu and Lokoja Local Government Areas, were parts of a sustained and strategic onslaught against criminal elements threatening the peace and security of our dear state.

2. During the operation, security forces engaged bandits and other criminal elements in a fierce exchange of gunfire, resulting in significant disruption of the activities of these criminal networks. We commend the gallantry, professionalism, and sacrifice of our security personnel, whose bravery led to the successful neutralization of several threats within the area.

3. The camps of the bandits suffered heavy casualties, however, we are deeply saddened to report that in the course of this operation, we lost two courageous operatives who paid the ultimate price in defense of our people and our state. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the families, friends, and colleagues of these fallen heroes. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten, and their memories will remain a source of inspiration in our collective fight against insecurity.

4. We also commend the resilience of other operatives who sustained injuries in the line of duty. The State Government is working closely with the security authorities to ensure that all necessary medical care is provided promptly and comprehensively.

5. The Kogi State Government assures citizens that normalcy has been restored in the affected areas, and further operations are ongoing to ensure a total purge of criminal elements. We urge our people to remain calm and not to panic. The rules of engagement are strictly in place to protect innocent and unarmed civilians, and our security agencies remain committed to upholding the highest standards of professionalism in the discharge of their duties.

6. The Chief Servant of the State, His Excellency Alh Ahmed Usman Ododo wishes to reaffirm his iron-cast commitment to the safety and security of every resident of Kogi State. He has reiterated his administration’s zero tolerance for criminality and his resolve to partner continuously with federal security agencies and the Office of the National Security Adviser to ensure Kogi remains one of the safest states in the country.

7. We call on all community leaders, stakeholders, and residents to cooperate with security agencies by providing credible intelligence that can further support ongoing efforts to rid our communities of criminal elements.

8. As a Government and a people, we express our profound appreciation to our dear President, His Excellency Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR for his special commitment to keeping Kogi and Nigeria safe. We also wish to thank all the security agencies, both conventional and local as well as the Office of the National Security Adviser for the sustained efforts at sustaining peace and security in the Confluence State.

9. At a time that the global investing community is indicating interest in Kogi State, the Ododo Administration will spare no resource to win the war against criminality. Despite appreciable success in the war against criminality in the state, we will not rest on our oars until every resident is safe. The fight against insecurity is one we will win with your support and cooperation.

Signed:
Kingsley Femi Fanwo
Hon. Commissioner for Information and Communications
