The governor charged security agents to work together, adding that collaborative efforts among security agencies would yield better result and bring peace to the people.
Akeredolu said better ammunition and improved welfare for security agencies must continue to be at the front burner to ensure the officers get the best in their fight against crime.
“Apart from prayers, as individuals, we should empathise with the widows and dependants of our fallen heroes and one major way of doing this is to donate generously to the emblem appeal fund by buying these emblems.
“For the benefit of doubt, let me emphasise that proceeds of the emblem appeal for the Nigerian Legion is for the welfare of former servicemen and dependants of the fallen heroes,” he said.
Brigade Commander of the 32 Artillery Bridage, Z. L. Abubakar, appreciated the commitment of Governor Akeredolu to the 32 Artillery Brigade, soldiers, widows and dependents of fallen heroes.
He said the command recognises and values the continued support and encouragement of the governor, urging him not to be tired of supporting them.
