Governor Ododo made this disclosure while speaking with journalists after a meeting with the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Working Committee (NWC), led by the party’s National Chairman, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, on Friday in Abuja.

The Nigerian military has intensified its offensive against terrorist elements in the North East and North West, prompting reports that some insurgents have been escaping these regions due to sustained airstrikes.

Governor Ododo’s remarks follow President Bola Tinubu’s recent condolence visit to Benue State in response to the June 13 killings in Yelwata.

Commenting on Kogi’s security status, Ododo remarked:
“The recent wave of criminal infiltration—yes, I call them criminals because no normal person lives in the forest—is a direct consequence of military pressure in the North East and North West.”

He emphasized that many of the attackers targeting Kogi communities had been neutralized, assuring that his administration remains resolute in safeguarding lives and property.

“Security strategies aren’t matters for public discussion, but I can assure you we are taking firm action. These criminals know we don’t make noise—but we are very effective.

“They come in large numbers and leave with none. They enter Kogi with their phones ringing, but once inside, those lines go permanently silent. We are eliminating them,” Ododo stated.

The governor reiterated his administration’s commitment to its constitutional duty:
“We have sworn to protect the lives and livelihoods of our people, and that’s exactly what we are doing. In terms of security, Kogi is in safe hands.”
