Uzodimma to GOC, 82 Division: We need an enabling environment to secure our people

….Extols the gallantry of Nigerian Military, other Security Agencies

Governor Hope Uzodimma has given kudos to the officers and men of the Nigerian Military as well as other collaborative security agencies, for their efforts in stemming the tide of insecurity in Imo State in particular, and the entire South East region and Nigeria in general.

Uzodimma made the commendation when he received in audience the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 82 Division Enugu, Major Gen. Oluyemi Thomas Olatoye and his team Commanders under Sector 4 at the New Exco Chambers, Government House Owerri on Tuesday, March 4, 2025.

The Governor attributed part of his administration’s success to the invaluable efforts, sacrifices and determination of the security agencies which guaranteed an enabling environment for development in the State.

“No government can thrive in an atmosphere of violence. We need an enabling environment to secure our people better,”
he stressed, and urged the military to remain steadfast and count on the support of his government at all times.

Uzodimma further noted that the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration in Nigeria has invested so much to confront the spate of insecurity in the country, and maintained that security of lives and property of the citizenry and residents is paramount to his administration.

He encouraged the GOC, who is equally the Commander of Operation “UDOKA” in the South East, to collaborate with the Governors of the South East to guarantee greater peace in the region with the consequential development in the interest of all.

Earlier, Major Gen. Olatoye said he was in the State on official/familiarisation tour of commands under Sector 4, “to ascertain their operational readiness, appraise their challenges and proffer necessary advice to enhance their operations.”

The GOC expressed appreciation to Governor Uzodimma for his support in all capacity as the Chief Security Officer of the State, and by extension a key leader in the area, and encouraged him not to relent.

He promised that the Army under his watch in the area will upscale its efforts in fighting insurgencies within Imo State and the entire South East region, deploying kinetic as well as non kinetic measures to achieve the set goals.

Present at the courtesy visit were the Deputy Governor of Imo State, Lady Chinyere Ekomaru, the Deputy National Chairman (South) of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Emma Eneukwu, the Secretary to the Imo State Government, Chief Cosmas Iwu, the Chief of Staff, Barr. Nnamdi Anyaehie, the Head of Service, Mrs. Chikodi Emenalo, the Principal Secretary to the Governor, Dr. Irene Chima, members of the State’s Expanded Executive Council led by the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Chief COC Akaolisa, the Chairman Imo Elders Council/ Deputy Chairman, Southern Traditional Rulers Council, HRM Eze Dr. Cletus Ilomuanya, among others.

The suspect who was arraigned before Magistrate R.I. Adelakin, on Tuesday, March 12, 2025, suddenly put up a strange behaviour in court by refusing to alter any word and looking weird.

However, when the charges were about to be read to him, Daniel started shouting awkwardly, throwing the audience into confusion, thus altering proceedings.

The defendant, who was just dramatising, turned his back to the court and ran outside displaying full madness.

He removed his clothes and str!pped himself nak3d, as he began to eat dried leaves and nylons.

The suspect’s strange display caught the attention of people present at the court premises, though nobody could move closer to him, including his mother.

The suspect, whose address was not given, was charged to court by the police on a single charge of threat to life.

The prosecutor, Inspector Folashade Adeyemi, said on March 10, in Akure, the defendant threatened the life of one Alexandral Udokwu and attacked him with a broken bottle.

The offence contravenes Section 86 of the Criminal Code Law of Ondo State, 2006.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has accused the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari of enabling unprecedented levels of corruption, specifically criticizing the presidential pardons granted to ex-governors Joshua Dariye and Jolly Nyame, both convicted of embezzlement.

Obasanjo alleged that former Attorney General Abubakar Malami played a key role in these pardons, suggesting that the process was influenced by corruption.

In response, Malami dismissed these claims, stating that the pardon process is governed by a designated committee responsible for such decisions, and his role was limited to presenting the committee’s report to the Council of State.

Malami emphasized that allegations of corruption should be substantiated with specific evidence, criticizing the trend of baseless accusations against public officials.

The Federal Government also refuted Obasanjo’s criticisms, defending the Buhari administration’s record on anti-corruption efforts and infrastructure projects.
