KONGONET raises alarm over growing insecurity in Kogi

Kogi NGO Network, KONGONET, has raised alarm over what it described as the growing insecurity in the Kogi State, saying they have lost confidence in the security architecture put in place by Governor Yahaya Bello to address recent upsurge in Crime in the State.

KONGONET Chairman, Idris Ozovehe Muraina, in a statement yesterday, called on the Governor to change his tactics in handling security issues, as citizens in Kogi State can no longer sleep with their two eyes closed or travel around the state over fear of the unknown.

Our Kogi State Correspondent reports that Muraina described the recent surge in the rate of crime and criminality in Kogi State as unfortunate and sad.

He called for a swift response by the state security apparatus to strategize and implement operation Clean Sweep, to flush out the hoodlums and rescue their captives immediately.

Meanwhile, KONGONET has commended the appointment of Mrs. Lami Onayi Ahmed, as Board Member, NNPC, representing North Central.

Idris Ozovehe Muraina, in a congratulatory message released today, Sunday July 12, described the newly appointed board member as a woman with impeccable character, who discharges her duties with the fear of God and with outstanding success in all her endeavours.

Mrs. Lami Onayi Ahmed, is the Founder and Executive Director of Lift Up Care Foundation, LUCAF, a Non -Governmental Organization, with special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council, ECOSOC, specialized in health care, education, household economic strengthening, women empowerment, comprehensive care for Orphan and Vulnerable children programming across Kogi State and the FCT.
