    Edo Government Reinstates Security Corps For Enhanced Safety, Security

    In a move to fortify the security architecture of Edo State, the state government has lifted the suspension imposed on the Edo State Security Corps in September 2024.

    A press statement by Mr. Fred Itua,
    the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, said the decision made by the governor, His Excellency, Senator Monday Okpebholo, marks a comprehensive shift in the state’s quest for enhanced safety and security.

    The suspension, which was initiated by the Inspector General of Police (IGP) ahead of the September 21, 2024 gubernatorial election, was based on the constitutional stipulation that election security is the sole responsibility of the Nigeria Police Force, assisted by other sister agencies within the Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security (ICCES).

    However, with the successful conduct of the gubernatorial election, the Edo State Government has deemed it necessary to reinstate the Security Corps. This move aims to bolster the state’s security apparatus and ensure the safety of its citizens.

    As part of the reinstatement process, all returning officers are required to report to the office of the State Corps Commander or their respective zonal offices (North, Central, South) of the Corps.

    This directive aims to ensure a seamless transition and the effective deployment of the Security Corps.

    Secretary to the Edo State Government, Umar Musa Ikilor, in a statement, emphasized government’s commitment to ensuring the safety and security of its citizens.
