Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, has given operators of trailer parks a one-month grace period to vacate the locations, after which no trailer will be allowed to park there or in any other unauthorized area of the state, particularly during hours prohibited by law.
The Governor gave the directive at an event in Lokoja on Saturday.
He noted that security remains critical to the wellbeing of citizens, and raised concerns over the security risks posed by trailer parks at Zariagi and Osara, which, according to intelligence reports, had become hideouts for criminal elements disguised as truck drivers.
He directed security agencies to ensure full enforcement of the order, saying the measure is necessary to deny criminals any safe haven and strengthen security operations across Kogi State.
