Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello has appointed Senior Special Assistants on security matters for each of the 21 local government areas of the state.
Announcing the appointment on Thursday in Lokoja, Bello charged them to work assiduously with security operatives and directors of local government areas towards ridding the state of criminals.
The governor, who acknowledged that criminal elements hold sway in the state, warned that they should relocate or face the full wrath of the law.
“If you are a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and you pose security threat to the state, I will deal with you. No room for criminals in Kogi State.
“My administration wants to bring crime to zero level. That is why I invited the Kogi State Commissioner of Police to witness this occasion. He is representing the Inspector General of Police,” he said.
