The gesture, which is part of the governor’s efforts to boost security in the state, is expected to enhance the operational capacity of the task force and improve the state’s security landscape.

While presenting the vehicles on Thursday to the task force, Governor Otu reiterated his administration’s commitment to ensuring the safety and security of residents and visitors to the state.

“Cross River State is safer than ever,cases of kidnapping have declined significantly, and robbery is nearly nonexistent. These achievements are due to the dedication of our security forces.

“We are committed to ensuring peace, and anyone who threatens that peace will face the full weight of the law,” he warned.

Governor Otu also outlined future security plans to include strengthening marine patrols, acquiring gunboats and drones for advanced surveillance, and recruiting personnel for a homeland security structure to enhance security.

He assured investors that Cross River remains a secure destination for business, with the government dedicated to protecting investments and ensuring security.

Emphasizing public participation in security efforts, he urged residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities. “Security is a shared responsibility. If you see something, say something,” he stated.

The State Security Adviser, Major General Okoi Ubi Obono (Rtd), in his remarks, described the initiative as a milestone in the state’s fight against crime. He explained the significance of the new name, Operation Okwok, an Efik word for “bee.”

“Don’t let the sweetness of the bees fool you. Bees are highly territorial and fiercely protect their hive. Just like that, Operation Okwok is here to secure Cross River producing honey when
needed but stinging when provoked,” he said.

Also speaking, the Commissioner of Police, CP Gyogon Augustine Grimah, commended Governor Otu’s unwavering support for security agencies, calling the donation a “festival of vehicles.” He noted that several security formations had received operational vehicles in recent weeks, reinforcing the administration’s commitment to safety.

The restructured task force, Operation Okwok, comprises personnel from various security agencies, including the Nigerian Army, Police, Air Force, Navy, Department of State Services (DSS), Immigration Service, and Correctional Service.
