The Ogun State House of Assembly on Wednesday appealed to armed robbers operating in the state and neighbouring ones to suspend their activities in the light of the junior World Cup going on in the country.

The Assembly reminded the robbers that any of their operations during the period of the tournament will give the country a bad name, as several foreign visitors are in the country now. Ogun is one of the states hosting teams in the competition.

The lawmakers agreed to beg the bandits during deliberations on the floor of the House, at their Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta complex. A member, Edward Ayo Odugbesan had raised an alarm that the Isheri bridge, which links Ogun with Lagos State, has become a den of bandits.

Mr. Odugbesan said there is a need for the men of the underworld to suspend their operations in the interim, because of the on-going mundial. The Ijebu-Ode International Stadium is one of the centres being used for the competition.

“I want to appeal to the men of the underworld to suspend their actions and operations in the interim because of our foreign visitors currently in the state,” he said. “Then they can resume thereafter, because there is nowhere in the world where robbers and robberies could be stopped from their work.” He then called on his colleagues to support his call on the armed bandits to soft-pedal because the situation is becoming worrisome.

“If foreigners witness the robbers’ attacks at this point, it would send a bad signal to other nations,” he said.

Police wake up

Reacting to Mr. Odugbesan’s call, the Speaker, Tunji Egbetokun, called on the police leadership to intensify efforts in ensuring that security is maintained in the state.

“I want to use the opportunity to call on the police to intensify efforts in checkmating criminals. They should please not relent in the efforts,” he said.

In a related development, the Assembly ordered the head of the Local Government Administration of Obafemi-Owode to appear before it next Wednesday for clarification on the budget and expenditure of the council. The local government official was said to have dodged previous invitations over the past three months – a development which the Assembly faulted at its session yesterday.

The lawmakers, therefore, directed the Clerk of the House, Demola Badejo, to write the official on the matter and direct him to report before it.

This is a serious issue. It only shows our lawmakers are low in cerebral content. This is absolute stupidity

That is the most encouraging statement I have ever heard or read from a law enforcement body anywhere in the world. This statement confirms to us that PDP are a bunch of clowns who are only intrested in lining their own pockets, the safety of the citizenry as far as these confident ritualist in the Ogun house are concerned can be compromised as they have not only taking an oath that will ward away the fangs of these men of the underworld but also keep at arms lenght their political enemies.

WHat de h**l, are we this nuts? When are they granting them amnesty too. Abi are they not qualified?

I no fit shout. Thi sguys are funny!

~ Never under-estimate the power of STUPIDITY. ~

I still cant reason why our lawmakers spent so much energy on stupid issues,,instead of legislating on poverty eradication,they are begging for suspension of crime.,i dont blame them,thats 9ja for you,,i just hope the armed robbers would divert their attention on the lawmakers atleast for the period of the amnesty save the public some horrible experiences.

So, what foreigners think about Nigeria is far more important than what Nigerians go through and what they think about Nigeria?

Who selected these people?

 whaaaaat?
so they'd actually also be informed on when to suspend the ceasefire and commence activities again?
noooooooooooooo! i refuse to attempt to process that thought.  

singing: .  .  . aint never seen ish like this .  .  .

Beggin for "Temporary"suspension on arm robberry? This is incredible infact the most awesome news I have ever read. Lord have mercy.

wonders they say shall never cease. i believe in my heart of hearts that the dishonourable idiot who made that senseless call for cease-fire must have resigned his seat by now. who are these clowns , captain crunch? whom ever selected these fools are the ones that did our nation the most disservice.

really, pple have been complaining about the rate of robbery in ogun state, smtins banks dont even open all tru the day, but i dont think this is the way to go about it, wat the legislator is saying is, [size=14pt]STOP NOW AND ATTACK THEM LATER BUT DONT TOUCH THE FOREINGERS, TOUCH THE USELESS CITIZENS, too bad.[/size]

posakosa:

Let ALL law makers declare cease fire on stealing money that belongs to the masses

simple!

I how wonder the robbers don't attack these foolish law-breakers for a change.
How do people in elected office make such utterances and get away with it??
