The escape of the over 2,000 hardened criminals from the prisons in Edo state should be viewed as a National disaster that must be given a national attention.
However, Governor Godwin Obaseki has been having sleepless nights over the various attacks in the last few weeks. The unrelenting Governor has made a series of frantic efforts to curtail the activities of criminals in the state.
His visit to the police headquarters in Benin City and his interaction with the military authorities which led to the setting up of a joint security task force have now helped in curtailing criminal elements in Edo State.
The Governor ‘s decision to rebuild destroyed police stations, provide more patrol Vans and settle the hospital bills of policemen who were wounded during the Hijacked #EndSars violent protests has served as a morale booster for the policemen.
Today, patrol teams of the joint security task force can be spotted in most parts of Benin city and other parts of Edo state.
The increased rate of criminal activities in Edo state will gradually go down and will however, take some more time to finally curtail. Therefore, the people of Edo State should see it as a moral responsibility to render useful information to the police and other security agencies as any credible information will help in taking one criminal off the streets.
Remember that the criminal elements are in minority while genuine citizens are in majority. So, the minority must not be allowed to take the day. Therefore , if YOU SEE SOMETHING-SAY SOMETHING.
Together, we can make Edo great again. It begins with me and you!
