Bandits: Akeredolu restates need for security agencies to collaborate
Governor Rotimi Akeredolu has reiterated the need for collaborative efforts among security agencies operating in the state to protect lives and property effectively.
Mr Akeredolu said his administration would continue prioritising security issues and supporting all security agencies in Ondo.
He spoke on Wednesday while playing host to the new comptroller of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Ondo command, Oluwafunmilayo Bosede.
The governor urged the command to do more in safeguarding lives and property.
On the Owo June 5 attack on a Catholic Church, the governor disclosed that the state government was planning a memorial for the victims.
“We will put something in place in memory of all those who were gruesomely murdered. It is good to know that some of the culprits have been apprehended,” said Mr Akeredolu.
The comptroller praised the Ondo governor for his passion and love for the people in establishing the Amotekun Corps to tackle insecurity in the state and the South-West.
Ms Bosede promised to synergise with other security agencies to reduce criminality further, just as she condemned the attack unleashed on the Catholic Church in Owo by terrorists.
“All thanks to our amiable governor, who has once again demonstrated his love for his people through the establishment of Amotekun,” she said. “On our part as immigration officers, we promise to join forces with other security agencies in order to maintain effective and efficient security within the mandate of our operation.”
