 Enugu State Governor Mbah Lauds DSS Over Arrest Of High-Risk Criminals; Pledges Continued Support


Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah, has commended operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) for the arrest of high-profile kidnappers and gunrunners in the state.

He gave the commendation during a visit to the Agency's State Headquarters in Enugu.


Governor Mbah  expressed particular delight over the arrest of a high target gang leader,  who has been responsible for series of  attacks on security operatives and kidnapping for ransom in  Enugu and its environs, noting that residents will finally be relieved of his reign of terror in the State and Southeast region. He further expressed dismay at how able-bodied individuals could abandon human decency for heinous crimes, stressing that the full weight of the law awaits the criminals. 


He praised the DSS for their professionalism, discipline, and role in ensuring a peaceful Easter celebration, while urging the command to maintain this momentum, which he described as the core duty of government. 


The good people of Enugu State are grateful for the peaceful atmosphere especially around the Easter period, brought about through the efforts of the Service and other Security Agencies in the state.


While expressing hope that the State would be rid of criminals with the sustained efforts of security agencies, the Governor also reaffirmed his commitment to making Enugu the safest hub for tourism, business, and living.
