There
can be no meaningful progress or development without peace and security of
persons and property.
Cross-border
robbers and other men of the underworld take undue advantage of Edo State's geographical location of
being at the crossroads of the Western, northern, southern and eastern road
axes to perpetrate havoc and fear.
In
realization of this Governor Oserheimen Osunbor Administration's campaign
promise to create a secure, peaceful and harmonious environment for social
and economic development to thrive. Governor Osunbor has:
-
Initiated an award scheme for gallantry worth N1million as compensation for
both the injured and deceased in the special Anti-Robbery squad (SARS).
-
Awarded the sum of N1million to the first son of Mr. Joseph Adaidu Abu, a police officer who died in active service
foiling a robbery operation.
-
Purchased 37 Hilux four wheel Drive Utility
Vehicles, fitted with modern telecommunications gadgets for enhanced police
operational use. The vehicles were handed over to the police authorities by
Governor Oserheimen Osunbor at a ceremony in Government House, Benin City recently. A
set of the Hilux four wheel Drive Utility
Vehicles have been delivered to other law enforcement agencies in the state
by the Governor Oserheimen Osunbor Administration.
Without
peace and security of persons and property, there can be no meaningful
progress or development. Edo
State is invariably
at the cross roads of the Western, northern, southern and eastern road
axes. Cross- boundary robbers and other men of the underworld take undue
advantage of this geographical location to converge on the state to operate
and create an atmosphere of mayhem and fear.
Senator
Osunbor has a vision of strengthening the state anti-robbery outfit of the
Nigeria Police with the donation of more operational vehicles (including armoured personnel carriers) and telecommunications
equipment and the reinvigoration of the state Neighbourhood
Watch and the Edo State Vigilante service to complement the police and
other security agencies. This will curtail the menace of interstate robbers
and other hoodlums.

Senator
Oserheimen Osunbor is conscious of the overall need to provide a safe,
secured and conducive environment and atmosphere for investors and
investments to thrive and for the people to live without fear or hindrance.
