We paid a condolence visit to the Police Command in Imo State, to commiserate with the leadership and personnel, over the death of some of their members at the peak of the insecurity in the state, and to also donate more security equipment to them to aid their operations.
Our sincerest sympathy to those who lost their lives in their effort to secure Imo State and our people. I appreciate them in their efforts to repel the bandits who attacked them and their formations in the State over the past few weeks.
To this end, our government is working out a Social Welfare package to encourage the police and all security agencies working in Imo. The social welfare package is aimed at motivating and encouraging the security agencies in the State, enhancing the performance of the security men and boosting business activities in the State so that the welfare of Imo people will be guaranteed.
There is also the need to insure men and women of the Nigerian Police working in Imo State to an extent that where there is any casualty, not only will the palliative measures be provided by the government, the Insurance Company will also take the responsibility of making sure that the liabilities and obligations of those who died, including family obligations will be contained in the policy.
We shall continue to partner with the police by supplying them in sufficient number, all they need to succeed in their operations.
I commend the Police Commissioner in Imo State, Mr. Abutu Yaro and his team for their gallantry and assured them that they are not alone in their effort to restore peace and security in Imo. I thank also, the Inspector General of Police (IGP) for the support he gave to Imo State during the time of the crisis. I prayed God to always be with them in their effort to protect lives and property in Imo State.
We are also doing all within our powers to reach out to all families that lost their loved ones recently, including their children and spouses.
May I use this medium to extend our condolences, once again, to the entire police formation and families of the victims in Imo State who were affected in the effort to return sanity to Imo State.
-Hope Uzodimma
Executive Governor, Imo State.
