Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has met with military, police, and other security chiefs in Kwara South to address rising security threats in the state’s troubled areas.
The meeting was a swift follow-up to reviewed reports submitted by various stakeholders, including findings from a routine gathering of Kwara South leaders convened by Johnson Adewumi, a concerned stakeholder in the area.
Attendees included the Irepodun Local Government Chairman, Abdulazeez Yakub; Commissioner for Communications, Bolanle Olukoju; Olanrewaju Shuaib (SOFAB); and senior officers of the police, army, and other security agencies in the state.
Governor AbdulRazaq commended the Nigerian Army, police officers, local vigilantes, and community leaders for their collaboration, which he said was helping to sustain peace and safety across the state.
The meeting, which ended on a positive note, was part of Governor AbdulRazaq administration’s broader efforts to strengthen security statewide.
Reaffirming his commitment to fortifying Kwara’s security architecture, the Governor vowed to keep the state inhospitable to non-state actors and criminal elements.
He directed security agencies to maintain lockdowns in areas showing signs of threats and assured residents that coordinated efforts were ongoing with the Office of the National Security Adviser to safeguard lives and property.
Governor AbdulRazaq urged the public to support security operations and avoid panic as law enforcement agencies carry out their duties.
The outcome of the meeting was issued by the Senior Special Assistant on New Media to the State Governor, Olayinka Fafoluyi.
