From Okwe Obi, Abuja
The 2023 governorship candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in Imo State, Uche Ben Odunzeh, has charged the Federal Government to sufficiently equip the police to address insecurity in the country.
Odunzeh in a statement yesterday, after paying a courtesy call on the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Adegoke Fayoade, in his office, said the government must be deliberate in fight against criminality.
The Chief Executive Officer of EUC Homes Limited lamented that kidnapping for ransom, and other nefarious activities had become the order of the day which confronts the security architecture of the country.
He commended the Lagos police boss on his fight against crime in the state and promised to continuously support the command in its drive to ensure a crime-free Lagos State
On his part, CP Adegoke thanked Chief Odunzeh for the visit. He explained that the Nigeria Police was not unrelenting in its efforts at ensuring that normalcy returned to all parts of the country especially in Lagos State.
He said it is only in a peaceful environment that business can thrive, adding that Lagos State being the epicenter of business in West Africa could not trade anything to peace and zero crime.
