Governor Dapo Abiodun announced the measure during a strategic meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abeokuta, where he said the administration is taking proactive steps to prevent any spillover of criminal activities into the state.

He described the growing incidents of terrorism, kidnapping, and banditry in other regions as worrisome, stressing that Ogun State would not wait for threats to escalate before responding.

According to him, the government is strengthening its security architecture through the deployment of modern, technology-driven surveillance systems, improved intelligence gathering, and closer collaboration with security agencies.
