The Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has said there is no comfort zone for robbers in the state, admonishing the men of the underworld to repent and become good citizens of Nigeria without further delay.
The governor said this on Monday while taking delivery of five state-of-the-art Armoured Personnel Carriers at the Governor’s Office, Abeokuta, the state capital.
He reiterated the determination of his administration to curb the menace of armed bandits so that Ogun State would become investors’ destination of choice.
The governor said: “As you can observe, the recently-held Ogun Investors’ Forum is already yielding positive results. There is the need to consolidate on that by ensuring that all obstacles to investment in the state are dismantled. That is why we are taking security very seriously.”
He disclosed that more APCs were being expected to boost security across the state.
He said Ogun State was the first to order for the new model of APC because it valued the lives of security personnel to use the equipment.
Amosun thanked President Goodluck Jonathan for facilitating the state’s clearance papers for the APCs, adding that the equipment and 125 Hilux vans fitted with modern communication facilities would be launched on Friday by the Inspector-General of Police, Alhaji Mohammed Abubakar.
