Edo Groups Support New 83 Division for Enhanced Security
The Edo People’s Initiative for Peace and Security and Nigeria Citizens Watch for Good Governance held a joint rally in Benin City on Friday to support the newly established 83 Division of the Nigerian Army. They described this development as a significant enhancement to security in Edo State and surrounding areas.
Comrade Innocent Ajayi, chairman of the Edo People’s Initiative for Peace and Security, delivered a speech commending President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for approving the formation of the Division. Ajayi noted that the establishment of the 83 Division would bring military command closer to the community and improve responses to security threats, particularly issues like kidnapping, armed robbery, and cultism.
The groups also praised Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Olufemi Oluyede and Chief of Army Staff Lt.-Gen. Waidi Shaibu for their leadership. Ajayi urged the president to ensure adequate funding and support for the military to effectively combat insecurity.
