Kogi
State Governor, Yahaya Bello on Thursday, prevailed on security agencies in the
state to go after the criminals who participated in Thursday’s bank robbery in
Insalu and attack on Police Station which led to the death of some persons
including police personnel on duty.
Bello
gave the directive in a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Onogwu
Muhammed in Lokoja, the state capital.
Condoling
family of those who lost loved ones in the unfortunate attack, Gov. Bello
described the incident as unacceptable, dastardly and cowardly, imploring
security operatives to apprehend the perpetrators.
The
Governor further charged residents of the State to readily assist the security
operatives, in their own way, by providing useful information to help combat
crime in the State, saying that the state’s hospitality should not be taken as
gateway for criminal elements, assuring the people that government will protect
them from the hands of criminals.
He
said: “Our open arms is no invitation to criminals. Our first responsibility as
a government is to ensure the security of lives and property in the state. Bank
robbery was a recurrence decimal in Kogi state before the current
administration. Together with all security agencies in the state, we ended the
regime of this form of crime since 2017, we will not allow this to reverse the
gains we have recorded in protecting lives and property of our people”.
The
Governor has also directed security agents to strengthen surveillance and
intelligence gathering that could lead to arrest of the criminals.
