"By next week, the command and control center in the state will come alive and we are activating security cameras to check criminality in the state. Be rest assured that my administration will secure Edo people.
"We will be publicizing the emergency response numbers that you will call for an emergency. We have increased the numbers of security patrol teams in the Benin-Auchi Road to check criminal activities in the axis, especially at this festive period. We will watch the next few days and begin to relax the curfew as we enter the festive period.”
The governor continued: “We have graduated the first set of 800 community policing personnel; they are going through training with the Directorate of State Security (DSS) this week and by next week, they will undergo the training of the Military.
"We are working with EdoGIS on a security map of the state, particularly Benin Metropolitan area and will be having a section with you on how to improve our security architecture.
We require the cooperation of the church. There is a church in every grid and will call on you to support the structure we are putting on the ground linking the structure with the community policing arrangements we have.
"I want to assure you that our administration has hit the ground running and no matter how difficult the challenges are, we are up to the task of dealing with it.
”
~Governor Godwin Obaseki
