Ododo also inspected newly acquired armoured personnel carriers and pledged continued investment in security personnel, equipment and intelligence-driven operations. He commended President Tinubu, NSA Nuhu Ribadu and DSS DG Adeola Ajayi for their leadership and support. Ododo assured residents that the administration will sustain efforts until every part of the state is secured and safe for lawful activities.
