Imo State governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, has donated 32 patrol motorcycles to the state command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
Addressing newsmen in Owerri on wednesday, the state Commandant of NSCDC, Adamu Saddabs Soja, on behalf of the Commandant-General expressed the gratitude of his command and described the donation as a step in the right direction.
Said he; “The implications of this gesture are such that there would henceforth be effective control of traffic in the state, bringing to an end the era of avoidable traffic congestions in Owerri and its suburbs. With these bikes which are equipped with modern communication gadgets, strategically deployed; kidnapping, human trafficking, bag-snatching on motorcycles, tricycle criminalities and dangerous driving will be a thing of the past, as these bikes are designed to give chase and coordinate arrest of fleeing criminals.”
Speaking further at the occasion, Soja said that the state command of the Corps has brought incidents of oil bunkering in the state to a stop, with massive arrest of bunkerers and impounding of trucks and facilities of the culprits.
According to him, “the
implications of this gesture are such that there would henceforth be effective
control of traffic in the state, bringing to an end the era of avoidable
traffic congestion in Owerri and its suburbs. With these bikes, which are equipped
with modern communication gadgets, strategically deployed; kidnapping, human
trafficking, bagsnatching on motorcycles, tricycle criminality and dangerous
driving will be a thing of the past, as these bikes are designed to give chase
and coordinate arrest of fleeing criminal elements.”
He decried the dearth of
credible information from the public, noting that, “for effective security of
any state, residents must be willing to volunteer vital information to security
agencies.” While promising a proactive approach to addressing security issues
in the state.
