The Edo State Government has commenced a two-week training on weapons handling and intelligence gathering, among others, for members of the Edo State Security Network.
“The aspects they will be trained in include protection of lives and properties, weapon handling, intelligence gathering; how to know those in their vicinity to be able to identify suspicious strangers; human rights and attitudinal change, and physical training, while the hunters will be trained to be rangers as they are familiar with the bushes and forests for bush combing.”
The coordinator assured that the training would be subsequently extended to Edo Central and Edo South senatorial districts. He said, “Edo North was selected first due to the continuous kidnapping and killings around the axis. Also, being by the border of Edo State and other states, there is a need to fortify the area.
“Edo South is not sidelined. The claims by Johnson Osahen, alias Small Baba, are false. He was one of our sector commanders in the Edo State Security Network in Egor. However, due to his mischievousness and using his powers to intimidate civilians, a lot of petitions were filed against him and he was given an indefinite suspension.”All rights reserved.
