SGF declared that the security agencies must take permission from them before carrying out an operation in their respective states.
The governors made this known on Monday, July 5, in Lagos, insisting that any law enforcement agency carrying out an operation in any of the states in the south must take permission from the state governor, who is the chief security officer of the state.
Legit.ng gathered that while reading the communique after its closed-door meeting, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo state, however, kept mum on the recent arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) and the attack on Yoruba freedom fighter, Chief Sunday Adeyemo also known as Sunday Igboho’s house.
