The Igbomina Professionals Association (IPA) of Kwara state have commended the leadership of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, for his sustained commitment to improving security across the state, particularly through recent decisive actions against criminal elements.

The Association made this known in a news release jointly signed by its National President, Olabode Iranloye, and the Assistant Secretary, Mustafa Abubakar, made available recently to newsmen in ilorin.

The statement applauded the government’s support for enhanced security architecture, the upgrade of traditional rulers (Obas) in Igbomina land to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th class status respectively.

They also commended the governor for the reopening of schools, and the relocation of the School of Nursing back to Oke Ode, which to them collectively demonstrates a renewed commitment to stability, development, and public confidence.

IPA also acknowledged the arrest of suspected criminal elements and urged relevant authorities to ensure that justice is fully and transparently dispensed, in line with the rule of law, to serve as a strong deterrent to criminality.

The Association further commended the Nigerian Army, the Nigerian Police Force, other Nigerian troops, forest guards, and local hunters for their courage and professionalism in ridding the general area of criminal elements.

The association particularly mentioned the outstanding performance of the 2 Division of the Nigerian Army under Operation IGBO DANU ( Forest Flush), which has led to the dismantling of several terrorist enclaves, destruction of logistics bases, arrest of suspects, and the rescue of several kidnapped victims across the State.

IPA recognised the leadership of Major General Chinedu Nnebife, General Officer Commanding (GOC) 2 Division Nigerian Army, and Brigadier General Nicholas Rume, Commander 22 Armoured Brigade, as well as the strategic support of the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), whose coordinated efforts have significantly degraded terrorist operations in the state.

The Association called on the Kwara State Government and security agencies to sustain the tempo of these operations and assured them of the full support of the Igbomina Professionals Association in the ongoing drive to secure lives and property.

IPA also urged for intensified efforts to ensure the safe return of all residents still in captivity, stressing that the safety and dignity of citizens must remain paramount.

The Association further called on all Kwarans to cooperate with security agencies by exposing criminal collaborators within their communities, emphasising that “if you see something, say something.”

Collective vigilance, the association noted, remains critical to sustaining peace and security in Kwara State.
