Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo state has charged the Nigerian Army to go after criminal elements disturbing the peace and development of the state.
Speaking during the flagging-off ceremony of the ‘Golden dawn’ operation at 34 Artillery Brigade Forward Operation Base at Orlu, on Wednesday, Uzodinma stated that any form of criminality will not be tolerated by his government.
In a statement by the Nigerian Army on Thursday, Uzodinma was quoted as saying that all the perpetrators of evil in the state will be brought to justice.
The governor also called on other security services to continue to consolidate on the gains so far made in curbing the activities of criminals who are hell-bent on causing pain and hardship on the people.
Uzodinma stated that military exercises will greatly destabilize and bring to a halt the activities of hoodlums, kidnappers, cultists among other criminal elements.
The Governor then commended the Chief of Army Staff Lt Gen Faruk Yahaya, the Commander 34 Artillery Brigade and his officers and soldiers for their sacrifices in ensuring that Imo state is peaceful.
Uzodinma assured the Army and other security agencies that the state will support them to ensure that Imo remains a peaceful state.
