The Kogi State Government has announced its readiness to enforce the ban on trailer parks across the state from October 29, 2025. Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Fanwo, revealed this to newsmen on Tuesday in Lokoja, the state capital. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Governor Ahmed Ododo had on Monday directed the closure of unauthorised trailer parks at Zariagi in Lokoja and Osara in Adavi Local Government Areas of the state. Fanwo emphasised that the decision followed credible intelligence reports that some trailer parks had become hideouts for criminal elements, posing a significant threat to the security of lives and property in the state. According to him, the government’s directive is aimed at preventing the use of these parks for illicit activities.
