Kogi Gov donates 200 patrol vehicles to Police

Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi
State, yesterday said his administration
would continue to partner with the police
and other security agencies to combat
crimes in the state.
Governor Bello gave the assurance when
the new Assistant Inspector-General of
Police for Zone 8, (comprising of Kogi,
Kwara and Ekiti states) Tijani Baba, paid him
a courtesy call at Government House,
Lokoja.
According to the governor, “The state
government will not relent in its commitment
to tackle the problem of insecurity in the
state. We will derive maximum benefits from
hosting the AIG among the rest states under
the zone. My government will assist the
zone to deliver in its services.”
Bello who expressed delight that the crime
rate in the state had dropped drastically,
said: “I'm happy to inform you that my
administration has purchased over two
hundred Police Patrol Vehicles to assist in
combating crimes which by the grace of
God will be lunched on the 27th of this
month as part of the activities to mark the
twenty-five years of creation of the state.”
He also drew the attention of the new AIG
on the need to flush out some bad eggs in
the police who always involve themselves in
aiding and abetting crimes, “It has been
discovered that when the patriotic
volunteers gives useful information to the
police, they lease it out to criminals; a
development that is very unfortunate. I am
glad that the state police command has
been able to apprehend a lot of criminals
across the state and wants the command to
keep it up”.
Earlier, Tijani Baba had informed the
governor that he was not happy with the
unending cases of kidnapping, robbery and
murder in the zone hence the need for the
assessment tour of all the states under his
jurisdiction with a view to providing solution
to the security predicament.
He commended the Kogi state commissioner
of police, Abdullahi Ibrahim for being able to
identify black spots of criminal hide outs
across the state, saying it is a giant step
that will go a long way in finding lasting
solution to the high level of insecurity facing
the state.
