Oshiomhole lauds Army’s support on security GOVERNOR Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State has commended the Nigerian Army for its assistance to other security agencies in the fight against kidnapping and armed robbery in the state. The governor made the commendation, yesterday, when he received the General Officer Commanding 2 Division of the Nigeria Army, Major- General Ahmed Jubril, in Government House, Benin. He said that the Army had extended enormous support to the government in its fight against crime. Oshiomhole said: “This is an opportunity for me, on behalf of the good people of Edo State, to place on record our gratitude as a people and government for the enormous support, which the Nigerian Army under your command has extended to us outside the normal call of military duties. “If the Department of State Services, DSS, Director were here, he would narrate to you the help that the 4 Brigade has rendered them. “Going by the role of the Army, it is not your lot to be buffeted with internal policing. But because of the seriousness of the situation, we have all come to appreciate that the Army has to complement the efforts of the Police and other security agencies in matters of internal security in the country.”
