He also reiterated the call for the creation of state police adding that its introduction will help in resolving local crimes in various states of the federation
The governor disclosed this on Monday in a condolence message he signed to commiserate with Governor Alex Otti and the people of Abia State.
Abiodun said that those killing security officers who were daily putting their lives on the line for the safety of other Nigerians are no doubt enemies of the nation and would surely pay for their criminal activities.
“I sincerely commiserate with the government and the people of Abia State over the killing of security operatives in the State. Indeed, the issue of security is too important to be left in the hands of security agents alone.
“I urge the people of the State to continue to work in collaboration with security agencies by providing credible information that will help to nip criminal activities in the bud.
“Obviously, every crime has a local outlook. It is on that note that I call on the Federal Government once again to look into the issue of State Policing as a way of strengthening our security architecture in the area of local intelligence gathering at the community level,” Abiodun said.
