Quit notice: 51 suspected bandits arrested in Oke-Ogun – Oyo Govt

FIFTY-ONE suspected perpetrators of kidnapping, rape and banditry have been arrested by the Oyo State Police Command in the Oke Ogun area of the state.

Special Adviser to Governor Seyi Makinde on Security, Fatai Owoseni, disclosed this when a delegation of Oyo State Government officials and the new Commissioner of Police in the state, Mrs. Ngozi Onadeko, toured the trouble spots of Ibarapa and Oke-Ogun areas on Sunday.

The officials conducted on-the-spot assessment of the tension-soaked communities.

The Commissioner of Police, who led senior Police officers, including Deputy Commissioners of Police and Mobile Police Commanders on a tour of Igangan, Tede and Ago Are communities, sued for peace, while also declaring the readiness of the Police to embark on a thorough investigation to ensure justice for victims of kidnapping, armed robbery, rape and other crimes.

Owoseni, who led the government’s delegation, also appealed to community leaders, youths and Hausa-Fulani residents to eschew violence and live in peace.

Owoseni told the people to be vigilant and ensure they identify the criminal elements among them for prosecution by the Police, declaring that no one should take laws into their hands.

He also debunked insinuations that the government of Governor Makinde had abandoned the people to their fate.

He said that government would ensure that justice prevails in the cases involving the arrested lot, adding, however, that the people must remain vigilant.

“If you see something, say something,”Owoseni counseled residents of the visited communities.

The delegation also visited the razed home of the Seriki Fulani in Igangan, where it assessed the extent of damage and promised thorough investigation.

Secretary of Igangan Development Advocates, Lawal Akeem, who spoke in Igangan, said that the people were tired of the antics of the Seriki Fulani, Alhaji Saliu Abdukadir, whom he accused of complicity in different cases.

He also said that the community had been forced to pay about N50 million in ransom for different cases of kidnapping, while also accusing Fulani herders of regularly vandalising farms and raping women of the community.

Another youth in the town, Taiwo Adeagbo, said that no fewer than 15 women had been raped in recent weeks.

A member of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Hon. Peter Ojedokun, also told the delegation that Ibarapaland had been peaceful all the while but that the peace was affected recently when Fulani herders started attacking members of the community on their farms, kidnapping persons and committing crimes.

Presidency, talk na!

LordIsaac:
Presidency, talk na!

when the so called “yoruba leader” isn’t saying anything, you want presidency to talk?

Hope you’re seeing loyalties lie with selfish interests not in the western interest

medicine after death
they (government) should do the needful on time to prevent future occurrence

Until our southern politicians learn to call a spade by its name, this cow rearers will still be messing around with our people, I haven't seen a single fulani man who killed and got arrested or even sent to jail, but kill just one of their cow's and see the whole force coming after you.

Damage control from most useless governor in southwest

Better...

Something they should have done long time.

Never too late sha

When where they arrested and have they been charged?
I pity Makinde, if a big security issue rises during an election year because of his lukewarm attitude,
he will be a goner as OYO APC wouldn't mind publicly opposing herdsmen to seize power.

Great!

We are making progress.
