Warri____ A foremost Niger Delta freedom fighter and a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State, Alaowei Friday Igbegbe has lauded the South South Governors for taking the bold step to initiate the South South Region Security Outfit, stressing that the idea is a welcome development that is long over due.

Chief. Igbegbe in a Press Statement dated 9th March, 2020 noted that Nigeria is no longer safe due to rampant proliferation of small firearms into the country. He stressed that with the setting up of South South Region Security outfit, most of our restive youths out there would be fully engaged to secure our communities, thereby providing enabling environment for our multinational oil companies to operate peacefully.

According to Igbegbe, said; " l must commend our southern Nigeria Governors for the prompt meeting held at Asaba last week in order to provide adequate security for her citizens.

This is a right step in the right direction. Nigeria is too big to the extent that the federal government security agencies cannot meet up with the security challenges. With the introduction of state community policing, the youths of host communities will help to secure their environment from foreign invasion.

I therefore, charged our South South Governors to fasten up the process and launch the security outfit, so as to complement federal government efforts in the fight against crime in our society, Alaowei Igbegbe stated. "
