Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello on Thursday revealed how he chased out members of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) who were training Boko Haram members from the state.

The governor who spoke on Channels Television programme ‘Sunrise Daily’ monitored by Daily Independent said the ISIS members who came with sophisticated equipment settled down in his senatorial district and were using the place to recruit and train Boko Haram members.

He however said he was able to flush them with the combined efforts of the police, military and the DSS.

He said the issue of insecurity will be greatly resolved if everybody takes responsibility for the security of their environment.

“In Kogi state, every citizen is a police; every citizen secures their enclaves. Security is the business of everybody. If you allow criminals to settle in your community, before you call on law enforcement agencies, a lot of harm would have been done”.

“We educate every citizen in Kogi state that they must secure their environment and to make sure they report any strange faces and any acts of criminality immediately to law enforcement agencies. Whenever the situation goes beyond them, I zero in immediately and make sure we deal with it”.

“There are hardened criminals that have been existing in Kogi state before and some politicians will harbour them. I made sure that I liquidate them as quickly as possible and that ended the game of criminality in Kogi state once and for all”.
“If anybody is coming to settle with us with good intention, we welcome you wholeheartedly. There are several millions of Nigerians that have relocated to Kogi state and we are cohabiting very well. We expunge the criminals among them without labeling where they come from or the religion or ethnicity they belong to”.
‘In Kogi state as hot as it was then when I came in, we had ISIS. In fact , in my own senatorial district. They came, they live there and were training Boko Haram. They came with equipment but with the help of the police, the military and the DSS. We did not spare anybody. We rout them out immediately and Kogi Central and the entire Kogi state is very peaceful today’.

He didn't lie on this one. I can personally attest to this cos I am from Kogi state. In Kogi state, you are immediately reported to authorities if your face is strange and your actions are suspicious. Infact, a stranger can't rent apartment in my place now without guarantor or clarity of identity and purpose. So, Gov. Yahaya Bello may be owing salary but when it comes to handling of security challenges, he is excellent. May wisdom be increased in you to govern your people well henceforth in Jesus name, AMEN. #GOD BLESS KOGI PEOPLE #GOD BLESS KOGI GOVERNMENT #GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

APC is working , all APC state is working...

This one just dey open his basket mouth anyhow.

No be only ISIS, na alqaeeda

Politics aside, he tried on security issues in Kogi. Forget about the mentioning of ISIS and Boko Haram, generally the security situation in Kogi state has improved since his administration. In fact I remember when I traveled to Kogi state at the earlier stage of his administration, a lot of bad boys were mentioned to had been picked up by military men for their involvement in one crime or the other. Then I was told that the security operatives were able to take the boys off the street successful because they had the support of the state governor.
However if you have any different view you can state it but make sure you had been to the state before he became governor and also have visited the state since he became governor.

The kind of bleach this Yaya Bello de use launder his image in recent times non be local one o.

I don almost de forget say he was the worst governor in Nigeria b4

drama king

Aside sounding like a polical campaign, I think he speaks so bravely and intelligent
