Abiola Ajimobi
Gov. Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State on Monday commended the army for its support in ensuring security of lives and properties in the state.
The governor gave the commendation in Ibadan while receiving the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.- Gen. Tukur Buratai, who visited him in his office.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Buratai had led other senior army officers to Ibadan for the weeklong Chief of Army Staff Annual Conference.
Ajimobi said that the Nigeria Army had released some of its men to lead a special task force set up by his administration to restore peace and order in the state.
“The state before our assumption of office in 2011 was popularly known as a garrison where brigandage, thuggery and other criminal activities were the order of the day.
“When we assumed office, we set up a special task force known as ‘Operation Burst’ which involved the Nigeria Police, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and Nigeria Air Force which was led by the Nigerian Army.
