Nigerian Army has stated its resolve to
flush out kidnappers, armed robbers
and other criminal elements from
Ondo State, ahead of Yuletide.
Commander of the 32nd Artillery
Brigade in the state, Brig-Gen. Muktar
Adamu, disclosed this while flagging
off a field training exercise,
codenamed Exercise Still Water III. in
Owo, headquarters of the Owo Council.
Adamu, who was represented by the
Garrison Commander, Col. Jibril
Garba, explained that the exercise was
designed to checkmate all forms of
crime as the Yuletide season
approaches and to simulate tactical
operations.
He said: “The exercise will further
identify criminal hideouts and project
activities to clear kidnappers, armed
robbers, drug peddlers, bandits, and
cultists, among others, in the Area of
Responsibility (AOR).
“I, therefore, call on all criminal
elements operating in the 32 Artillery
Brigade area of responsibility to desist
from their nefarious activities or face
the full wrath of the law.”
Adamu appealed to other security
agencies, traditional rulers, and
community leaders to assist the
military with relevant and credible
information about security concerns
in order to make the state safe.
Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, who
commended security agencies in the
state for their activities, said the
government would continue to support
the Nigerian Army and others.
Akeredolu, who was represented by his
Special Adviser, Adetunji Adeleye, said
the synergy between security agencies
and the state had been yielding the
desired results...

Criminals are undesirable elements among human societies, and should be flushed out by all means possible.
However the security agencies equally need to be properly scrutinized, sanitised and watched with an eagle eye, because criminals often have their buttress roots among security agencies and personnel.

Oh you mean the late governor? This story is an old one na
