Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has vowed that kidnappers will have no hiding place in the state, assuring residents of intensified security operations across affected areas.
The governor made the declaration after meeting with President Bola Tinubu on the sidelines of the President’s visit to Jos over the weekend. He commended Tinubu, the military high command, and other security agencies for their renewed intervention to eliminate all threats to public safety.
In a statement released on Wednesday, AbdulRazaq welcomed the deployment of a full army brigade under the ongoing Operation Fasan Yanma, describing it as a major step toward restoring peace in Kwara South and Kwara North.
“We will not spare any resources in supporting the military, DSS, police, and other security agencies as they work to secure lives and property,” he said.
The governor expressed confidence in the ability of the Brigadier General A.A. Babatunde-led brigade to succeed in its mission to clear out criminal elements from forests and communities in the state.
He also praised the Office of the National Security Adviser, the Chief of Army Staff, the General Officer Commanding 2nd Division, and other security officials for their support in strengthening security operations in Kwara.
AbdulRazaq further urged residents to cooperate with security operatives by providing credible intelligence to aid the ongoing counter-kidnapping campaign.
