There was a sense of relief on Sunday as the Kogi State Police Command confirmed that scores of terrorists have been killed in an ongoing joint operation involving the police and the military across the state.
The Police Public Relations Officer, CSP William Ovye Aya, disclosed this in a statement made available to DAILY POST, noting that the sustained onslaught had led to the dislodgement of the assailants’ networks from several forest locations in Kogi State.
According to him, the operation is being carried out with vigor, commitment, and utmost professionalism, with support from the Nigeria Police Force Air Wing, which provided precision air strikes that contributed significantly to the success recorded so far.
Aya urged members of the public to remain vigilant and report anyone seen with gunshot wounds, injuries, or suspicious behavior to the nearest police station.
He also called on residents to support the ongoing security operations by providing credible information on criminal elements within their neighborhoods.
Emphasizing that security is a collective responsibility, the police spokesperson added that collaboration between security agencies and the public is key to making Nigeria safer for all.
