Again, Governor Bello advises criminals, sponsors: ‘Pack and leave Kogi State’
Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello has again advised criminals and their sponsors to ‘pack and leave’ because his administration was ready to sniff them out of their hideouts.
He made the promise on Monday in Lokoja during the launch of the new police operations by the Inspector General of Police tagged ‘Operation Puff Adder.’
Represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Folashade Arike, the Governor said one of the objectives of his administration was to leave behind a legacy of a secured and prosperous state.
He said Kogi State under him was righting the wrongs of the past, hence his determination not to allow merchants of insecurity to continue in the boom of their operations, and advised them to relocate out of the state.

“We want peace to reign in all parts of the state. We don’t want to jettison our responsibility of creating an environment for peace and security of all the citizens of the state. Our administration is committed to encouraging investors to flood the state, and security of the state is one of the ways we want to achieve that.”
Speaking, the Security Adviser to the Governor, Navy Commander Jerry Omodara (Rtd) lauded the Inspector General of the Police for introducing Operation Puff Adder in Kogi State, saying Governor Bello was doing all his best to ensure its success.
He also reiterated the commitment of the governor towards the success of the all security measures by security agencies to end all issues militating against peaceful coexistence of the state.
