Kogi State Governor Usman Ododo reports a significant decrease in kidnapping, banditry, and armed robbery within the state. He credits these improvements to a national security strategy implemented by the Federal Government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The governor also highlighted the importance of increased collaboration between various security agencies operating in Kogi. According to Ododo, Kogi is no longer considered a safe haven for criminal activity. These gains represent a positive shift in the state’s security landscape, though details regarding specific metrics were not provided. The governor’s statement suggests a broader effort to address insecurity across Nigeria is yielding results in at least one state. Further reporting will be needed to assess the long-term sustainability of these improvements.
