Ogun Governor Abiodun Hails Tinubu’s Commitment To National Security
Ogun governor Abiodun hails Tinubu’s commitment to national security. Mr Abiodun urged citizens to support the government’s initiatives to promote peace and unity in the country.
Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun, on Sunday, commended President Bola Tinubu for his commitment to safeguarding lives and property under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Mr Abiodun gave the commendation during a special church service to mark the 2026 Armed Forces Remembrance Day at the Cathedral Church of St. Peter, Ake, in Abeokuta.
The governor, represented by Deputy Governor Noimot Salako-Oyedele, said that the federal government had taken decisive steps to strengthen Nigeria’s security architecture, improve intelligence coordination, and enhance inter-agency collaboration.
He added that the federal government had also boosted welfare and provided modern equipment for the armed forces, adding that the efforts were already yielding positive results.
Mr Abiodun urged citizens to support the government’s initiatives to promote peace and unity in the country.
“Marking the Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebration has placed a responsibility on all of us, not just to remember our fallen heroes, but to renew our duty to uphold the values they defended.
“It is a moment of thanksgiving, remembrance, reflection, and renewed national responsibility,” he said.

Mr Abiodun reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to the welfare of serving officers, veterans, and families of fallen heroes.
“This administration will continue to support our servicemen and families of our fallen heroes; supporting them is not charity, but a duty we owe as a nation,” he said.
In his sermon titled “Greater Love: The Sacrifice of the Service Men,” the bishop of the Christ Chapel of Grace and Mercy, Samson Popoola, said the peace enjoyed in the country was paid for by the sacrifices of military personnel.
He described the celebration as a moment of sober reflection, noting that the sacrifices of servicemen extended beyond the battlefield, as many were often absent from important family moments.
“Sacrifice was the only language of true love, and that was what the servicemen have done for us,” he said.
Mr Popoola urged the government to continue prioritising the welfare of the families of fallen heroes while urging citizens to show them love and support.

Kogi Police Restore calm After Reprisal Attack in Community
The Kogi State Police Command says it has restored calm following recent reprisal killings in Abugi and adjoining communities in the state.

A statement issued on Sunday by the Command’s spokesperson, ASP Salisu Afusat, stated that the Command had taken decisive steps to prevent further escalation and restore peace in the affected area.
Recall that no fewer than five persons were killed in what was later identified as a reprisal attack following the killing of a herder in the community on Thursday.
“The Area Command, Lokoja, in conjunction with relevant security and community stakeholders, conducted critical engagements with traditional rulers, community leaders and other stakeholders, focusing on reconciliation, restoration of peaceful coexistence and addressing the underlying causes of the conflict,” Afusat noted.
She said the Command had also commenced a full-scale investigation into the incident through the State Criminal Investigation Department, with efforts underway to identify, trace and apprehend all persons found to have participated in or contributed to the killings.
She said that following the interventions and stakeholder engagements, normalcy had been restored to Abugi and its environs, with security monitoring continuing to ensure that the peace was sustained.
“The restoration of calm, however, does not in any way halt the ongoing investigation, as the Command remains committed to ensuring that those responsible for the loss of lives are identified and brought to justice,” she added.
Police
The Commissioner of Police reiterated that the Kogi State Police Command remained fully committed to protecting the lives and property of residents across the state.
He urged members of the public to remain law-abiding and promptly report suspicious movements or activities to the police and other security agencies.
