With the reduction in the spate of kidnapping in Delta State,
the governor, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan, has said that the state has recorded the
highest number of prosecuted kidnap cases in the country.
The governor made this disclosure on Friday during a courtesy
visit to him at Government House Annex, Warri, Delta State by a
delegation of judges from the state led by the Chief Judge, Justice Zai-Laye
Dawo Smith.
Uduaghan, who apologised for his inability to host the judges in
September, thanked them for the way they have been entrenching law and order,
their patience with government in spite of intimidation, adding that the timely
prosecution has boosted the economic drive of the state government.
He thanked the bench for synergy with other arms of government,
saying the three-point agenda of the state was on course.
Speaking on behalf of the delegation of judges from high courts
and customary courts of appeal in the state, Justice Smith, who thanked the
governor for promoting security and peace in relation to human and structural
developments, said it was a tradition by the judiciary to visit a sitting
governor after the ceremonial opening of every legal year.
He prayed God to grant the governor and his team the grace to
finish very strong at the end of their tenure.
