In a bold demonstration of leadership and resolve, Ahmed Usman Ododo has ordered the demolition of a notorious criminal hideout in Okene, sending a clear message that crime will find no refuge in Kogi State.
The operation, carried out by security agencies with government backing, targeted a structure identified as a hub for criminal activities that threatened peace and public safety in the area. By removing the physical base of these operations, the government has struck at the roots of insecurity rather than merely treating its symptoms.
Governor Ododo’s action underscores his administration’s zero-tolerance stance on crime and its commitment to protecting law-abiding citizens. Residents have welcomed the move as a decisive step toward restoring confidence, order, and normalcy in Okene and its environs.
The demolition stands as both a warning to criminal elements and a reassurance to the people: under Governor Ododo’s watch, Kogi State will remain firm in defending peace, security, and the rule of law.
