The Inspector General of Police, Tunji Disu, has deployed an operational police aircraft to Ogun State to strengthen security operations and enhance the fight against criminality and banditry in the state.
The Ogun State Government took delivery of the aircraft and its crew on behalf of Governor Dapo Abiodun. Secretary to the State Government, Tokunbo Talabi, commended the IGP for the prompt deployment.
Talabi said the deployment followed a request by Governor Abiodun for additional aerial support as part of efforts to strengthen the state’s security architecture and sustain the fight against criminal elements.
He said the aircraft would significantly enhance aerial surveillance, intelligence gathering and rapid response capabilities of security agencies.
According to him, the development demonstrates the strong collaboration between the Ogun State Government and security agencies, noting that the partnership has continued to yield positive results in safeguarding residents and protecting critical infrastructure.
Talabi added that the aircraft will support ongoing security operations under Operation KOSAYE, a joint initiative between Ogun and Lagos states aimed at flushing out kidnappers, bandits and other criminal elements from forests and border communities.
The governor reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to supporting security agencies.
