Oba Akiolu calls for effective maritime security applauds security, commends AIG Kastina's appointment
The
Oba of Lagos has called on the Federal government to give more support to
maritime security in view of its strategic position in the Nigerian economy.
Speaking during a courtesy visit to his palace by the new Assistant
Inspector-General (AIG) of Police in charge of the Maritime Command, Alhaji
Musa Kastina and his Command officers, Oba Akiolu noted that the endemic corruption
in the Maritime sector needs a tough, experienced and courageous maritime
Police Command to be wiped away, adding that the coming of AIG Kastina is at
the ‘‘right time and at the right place’’.
In
a press release issued in Lagos by The Public Relations Unit of Marine Police
Command, the Oba of Lagos, who had a flourishing police career and retired as
AIG in charge of Kogi and Abuja Commands, expressed worries at the high rate of
pipe-line vandalisation and other sundry aquatic crime in the country,
cautioned that violence in the Niger-Delta region against oil installations is
not the best way to go and called for dialogue to resolve any grievance.
He
therefore commended the Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase for his
choice of Musa Kastina as new AIG Maritime
command and prayed that Kastina will help turn around the fortunes of the
Maritime Police Command just as he did in all his postings in the past as
commissioner of police notably in Kogi and Imo states.
Oba
Rilwan Akiolu stated further ‘‘I am happy to have you in my palace and as your
former boss, I am pleased with your records in Imo state where you did very
well. As the AIG Maritime, am sure will burst the corruption ring in that sector
and bring back sanity. Please count on my support any day, anytime”.
Earlier,
in his speech, the AIG Maritime Police Command, Alhaji Musa Kastina told the Oba
of Lagos that he and his team were at the palace to pay homage to a former
boss, and mentor and to seek his blessings in the discharge by their duties to
the Maritime industry and Nigeria at large.
AIG
Kastina noted; ‘‘Your royal highness, this is my first visit to any organization
since I was posted to the Maritime Command and it is so done because you mentored
us to where we are today by the grace of God’’ We can assure you that the
maritime Police Command will strategically in conjunction with other security
agencies, change the security and operational focus of the command and rid the
sector of unpleasant security challenges’’.
He
further assured the Oba of Lagos that command enforcement strategy would be
drawn by fresh templates of crime intelligence and community policing
