Sen. Ahmed Ogembe (PDP, Kogi Central), on Saturday decried the spate
of abductions and killings in his constituency, and challenged the
security agencies to work harder to end the trend.
“The security
situation in Kogi Central gets worse everyday; the security agencies
must brace for these challenges and make the area safer,” he told
newsmen in Lokoja.
He regretted that Ebira land had been invaded
by wicked people, and urged the residents to help the police by
providing useful information that would aid their efforts.
“I
believe that the perpetrators of these evils are within Kogi; we must
all be vigilant and be ready to fish them out,” he said.
Ogembe
commended the authorities of Okene Local Government over the recent
order restricting movement to specific hours, and urged the people to
comply as it was for their own good.
NAN reports that cases of
abductions and killings have become common in the area with many victims
of abductions usually found death, few days after being taken away.
