The Oyo State Police Command has warned stakeholders in the state’s local governments against violence.
The police gave the warning in a statement in Ibadan by the Police Public Relations Officer of the command, Olugbenga Fadeyi, on behalf of the Commissioner of Police, Shina Olukolu.
The statement read, “The Commissioner of Police, Shina Olukolu, wishes to draw the attention of all stakeholders in Oyo State to the lingering local government chairmanship tussle in the state and the possible escalation which may entail destruction of properties and bloodshed “Chaos, bloodshed, lawlessness and destruction of properties or inflicting injuries on both sides will serve no purpose but an avoidable loss of peace and tranquility in the state.
“Economic development, peace and tranquility should remain the focus of all sons and daughters of Oyo State. Bloodshed is an ill-wind that blows no one any good. “The Commissioner of Police sternly warns all and sundry that the police will not stand by or fold their arms and watch any group or individuals cause chaos, lawlessness or inflict injuries on the peace-loving people of the state.”All rights reserved.
