Obaseki meets new AIG,  aims to end to communal clashes, land disputes

Godwin Obaseki, the governor of Edo State, received Lawan Tanko Jimeta, the new Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 5 Command Headquarters, Benin, on Wednesday and requested that they work together to settle community violence and land issues in the state.

While greeting Jimeta at the Government House, the governor stated that the new AIG is not new to security concerns in the state, as he was part of the team that created Edo State’s security architecture.

Jimeta was a commissioner of police in Edo before being promoted and posted out of the state, according to the governor.

He noted, “I am happy that you are back and will help us deal with the lingering land crisis in the state. Since you left, the issues of communal clashes and land disputes have increased astronomically. The Private Property Protection Committee is now in force and we hope that you will help us with one of your senior officers in that committee to control these boys before they cause havoc.

“We also call on you to work with us to address our border issues with Delta State. We urge you to work with us and bring calm to the area.

“As a government, we have no choice but to support you and ensure that you succeed. The security situation in Edo State is relatively calm and we can’t thank the police enough for ensuring peace in the state.

“We are rebuilding some police stations burnt during the #EndSARS protests. I thank the Inspector General of Police (IGP) for helping us to deploy Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) to the state to check such incidents that happened in Uromi.”
