The Ogun State Governor, Senator
Ibikunle Amosun, has vowed to make the state too hot for criminals.
Amosun stated this on Wednesday
while receiving Bala .A. Hassan, the new Assistant-Inspector-General of Police
(AIG) in charge of Zone 2, comprising Ogun and Lagos states.
He received the AIG in his office at
Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Amosun said: “Security is very
important to us. We will continue to support police with vehicles and materials
to make sure Ogun State will not be a comfort zone for criminals.”
Amosun promised to continue to do everything
humanly possible to ensure that Ogun State was secured.
Amosun also commended the police and
promised that his administration would not shy away from complementing police
efforts.
He said: “Development comes with
some challenges and criminals will go for places where there is development.”
Hassan, who was accompanied on the
visit by the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Abdulmajid Ali and other senior
police officers, said the pace of infrastructural developments in the state would
naturally attract criminals.
Hassan however said: “We’ll continue
to push criminals out of this zone.”
Hassan seized the opportunity to
inform Amosun of security plans for the upcoming burial of late Hannah Idowu
Dideolu Awolowo, matriarch of the Awolowo family.
Hassan further said: "I have
not been here for a long time but I have seen remarkable changes in terms of
both structural and physical development. With this development in place, the
Nigeria Police will see a situation whereby the mission to secure the lives and
properties of over 30 million inhabitants of Ogun and Lagos is achieved.”
