Kogi State Governor Ahmed Ododo has ordered the closure of unauthorized trailer parks in Zariagi, Lokoja, and Osara, Adavi, citing security concerns. The directive, issued on Tuesday, aims to eliminate potential hideouts used by criminals posing as truck drivers in these areas. Intelligence reports indicate that the parks have become a threat to the well‑being and safety of state residents.
Governor Ododo emphasized the need to prioritize the security and health of Kogi’s population. Trailer operators have been given a one‑month grace period to vacate the unauthorized sites, especially during restricted hours. After this period, security agencies will enforce the order to prevent criminals from finding safe havens and to strengthen overall security operations in the state.
The closure forms part of a broader effort to ensure that Kogi residents can live, work, and prosper without fear of crime or insecurity. By taking proactive measures against potential security threats, the government seeks to create a safer and more prosperous environment. With the cooperation of security agencies and compliance from trailer operators, the initiative is expected to reduce crime incidence and improve the state’s security landscape.
As the state moves forward with this plan, the administration remains committed to prioritizing the well‑being and safety of its citizens, ensuring that every resident has a fair chance to thrive.
