Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has held a marathon security council meeting to receive updates on various efforts to strengthen public safety.
The meeting, according to a statement by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Rafiu Ajakaye, was attended by all the security commanders as well as top government officials in the state, including the Secretary to the State Government and Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice.
The Governor was said to have received extensive briefings from the police, state security service, Army, Navy, Air Force, NSCDC, Immigration Service, NDLEA, and officials from the National Security Adviser — while insights were also taken from key government officials such as the Secretary to the State Government, Special Adviser on Security, Senior Special Assistant on Security, and others.
The Commanders reportedly gave details of all ongoing operations across the state, including multiple arrests, prosecutions, and interceptions of arms from hostile non-state actors.
The Governor, who commended the security forces for their sacrifice, acknowledged that they deserve all the support that they get as they put in everything to ensure that the people are safe.
AbdulRazaq, however, called for continued vigilance and support from the public, including giving actionable and timely intelligence.
