A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Muritala Audu, has called on the Kogi State Government to double its efforts in ensuring the security of lives and properties in the state.
Audu, the Aare Oodua and Oyine of Ihima, said in an interview that that call had become imperative to address the alarming rate of attacks and abductions in various Kogi communities.
According  to him, there is the need to engage all necessary security operatives in collaboration with local vigilantes and hunters to protect the citizens from the ongoing security challenges.
Audu, who commended Governor Usman Ododo-led government for its efforts in areas such as infrastructure, agriculture, health, and education, said that strategic measures must be deploy to curb security challenges.
He said: “More needs to be done in the area of security to curb the rising incidents of attacks and abductions in the state with much effect on Kogi West Senatorial District.
“The detrimental impact of the security issues on the livelihoods of the residents is high.
“Farmers are now afraid to go to their farms for fear of being kidnapped.
“If the security challenges are not effectively addressed, they could overshadow the progress made in other sectors and discredit the government’s efforts to improve the quality of life for the people of Kogi State.”
Audu urged the Kogi State Government to prioritise security measures and allocate the necessary resources to combat the prevailing security threats in the state.
He emphasised the need for proactive strategies and collaborative efforts between security agencies and local stakeholders to ensure the safety and well-being of the residents.
“As the call for improved security measures gains momentum, stakeholders are hopeful that the government will heed this advice and take decisive action to address the security challenges facing Kogi State.
“Only time will tell if the government will rise to the occasion and fulfill its duty to protect the lives and properties of its citizens,” he added.
