Ogun procures Armoured Personnel Carriers to boost security

GOVERNOR Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State has warned armed robbers and other criminals to repent and become good citizens of the country without further delay.

He spoke yesterday while taking delivery of five state-of-the-art Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) at the Governor’s Office, Abeokuta.

He reiterated his administration’s determination to curb the menace of armed bandits so that Ogun State would become investors’ destination of choice.

“As you can observe, the recently held Ogun Investors’ Forum is already yielding positive results. There is the need to consolidate on that by ensuring that all obstacles to investment in the state are dismantled. That is why we are taking security very seriously,” he said.

He disclosed that seven more APCs were being expected to boost security across the state. Amosun thanked President Goodluck Jonathan for assisting the state in obtaining clearance papers for the APCs, adding that the equipment and 125 Hilux vans fitted with modern communication facilities would be launched on Friday by the Inspector-General of Police.
