The AIG spoke with reporters after visiting Governor Kayode Fayemi. He said the visit was to review security situation in Zone 8.
According to him, the review has shown that Ekiti seems most peaceful among the states under the zone. He added that the state does not have common challenges like vandalism and terrorism as in other states.
“You don’t have the challenges that Kogi has for instance. Kogi has a bunch of challenges ranging from terrorism to vandalism, to all forms of serious crimes. You don’t have that here in Ekiti and we pray you wont have it,” he said.
The Police boss said though there are not enough men of the Police in the zone, plans are on-going to ensure that more men are recruited to enable the security agency live up to expectation.
He, however, urged men of the Police in Ekiti State not to relent in their efforts in maintaining the existing relative peace in the State.
