The Kogi State Government has ordered the temporary closure of selected markets and motor parks across parts of the state as part of intensified security operations aimed at flushing out terrorists, bandits and other criminal elements
The decision was announced in a statement issued on Sunday by the Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Fanwo, and made available to Punch Metro.
According to the statement, the closures affect selected markets and motor parks in parts of the Kogi West Senatorial District and adjoining areas, as security agencies intensify coordinated clearance operations.
Fanwo said the move was designed to disrupt criminal logistics by restricting movement and cutting off access to food supplies, consumables and other forms of support used by terrorists and their informants.
He explained that the operations were being carried out in collaboration with the Office of the National Security Adviser and heads of security agencies in the state.
“The temporary shutdown is intended to deny criminals freedom of movement and access to logistics during the security exercise,” he said.
