ABEOKUTA — Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has commended the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr. Olatunji Disu, for initiating the joint Ogun-Lagos security operation, Operation Kosaye, describing it as a bold, proactive and intelligence-driven initiative that has significantly improved security across the two neighbouring states.
The governor said the operation had recorded remarkable successes through coordinated security operations, including the combing of forests and criminal hideouts along the Ogun-Lagos corridor, the neutralisation of armed bandits, the arrest of criminal suspects and the rescue of kidnapped victims.
Abiodun, in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Kayode Akinmade, said the achievements of Operation Kosaye had restored public confidence in the Nigeria Police Force and reinforced the determination of security agencies to protect lives and property.
“The sustained offensive against criminal elements has effectively made Ogun and Lagos states increasingly hostile to kidnappers, bandits and other violent criminals who had attempted to exploit our shared border communities as safe havens,” the governor said.
