Uzodinma Presents Hundreds Of Vehicles To Operation Search And Flush Team (PHOTOS)
Governor Hope Uzodimma recently presented vehicles for security operations in the state.
The presentation of the vehicles was made to the sate security formation, Operation Search and Flush team.
In a statement, Governor Uzodimma stated, “It is a bold statement on our iron-clad resolve to flush out criminals from our dear state. It is a signal to bandits, hoodlums and trigger-happy criminals that their time is up in Imo State.
“As you have seen 100 security pick up vehicles are lined up right here clearly marked operation search and flush (SAF). With these vehicles, security agencies will henceforth be on a 24-hour patrol of all the nooks and crannies of Imo state to search and flush out criminals ” the governor declared.
“Again this event further underscores the fact that our government can never be intimidated by criminals and their sponsors. It also reaffirms our commitment to the protection of lives and property of all citizens of the state including those on transit.
“You will recall that just a few days after I assumed office as the governor of Imo State, I inaugurated the security outfit known as Operation Search and Flush,(OSF), which brought together all the different security agencies to work as a team to fight every form of criminality.
“The objective then and now is to rout and root out every aspect of crime in our state. I empowered the outfit then with a record of 100 patrol vehicles and sophisticated communication equipments to help them achieve the objective. There is no doubt that that intervention yielded positive results, the recent pockets of crime here and there notwithstanding.
“Let me; therefore, commend the heads of security agencies in Imo State and their men for their supportive roles in keeping Imo State and her citizenry safe. No matter what might have happened recently, the gallantry and sacrifices of these patriotic officers have never been in doubt. May I use this opportunity to commiserate with families of the officers who paid the supreme price in the course of executing their lawful duties. My administration will always do the needful to cushion the pains of these losses”, the governor said.
