Amidst the mounting security challenges in Yagba constituency, Kogi State, the House of Representatives has rallied behind Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun in a resounding show of support. In a bold move, the House has called for a comprehensive sweep of arms and ammunition in the region, placing their trust firmly in the capable hands of the nation’s top law enforcement officer.
Recognizing the critical role of law enforcement in restoring peace and security, the House has tasked IGP Egbetokun with the crucial mission of disarming individuals and herders alike. By targeting the circulation of AK-47s, cutlasses, and other weapons, the aim is not only to disarm potential threats but also to safeguard the lives and properties of Yagba’s residents.
In a show of solidarity, the House has extended its support to the Inspector General and his team, urging them to take decisive action to address the root causes of insecurity. By combing Yagba forests and securing the release of kidnapped victims, IGP Egbetokun and his counterparts are poised to make significant strides in restoring peace to the troubled region.
The motion, championed by Like Abejide (ADC, Kogi), serves as a rallying cry for unity and collaboration in the face of adversity. Abejide’s impassioned plea highlights the urgent need for coordinated efforts to tackle the scourge of violence and criminality that has gripped Yagba constituency.
Drawing attention to the plight of residents who have fallen victim to armed aggression, Abejide’s motion underscores the importance of swift and decisive action. By profiling individuals living in obscurity and addressing the systematic takeover of farmlands, IGP Egbetokun has been entrusted with the task of restoring hope and security to Yagba’s communities.
As the House stands firmly behind the Inspector General and his commitment to upholding law and order, the nation watches with anticipation. With the support of the House, IGP Egbetokun is poised to lead the charge in the fight against insecurity, paving the way for a safer and more secure future for all Nigerians.
