Photo: Osun State GovernmentGovernors of states in the South-West have reached out to the army, police and other security agencies on the need to redouble their efforts to stop atrocities being perpetrated by armed herdsmen and other criminals in the region.
“Less than three weeks ago, the governor summoned all the traditional rulers in the state to warn subjects in their domains to become security conscious, report unusual activities that can help police foil crime and possible arrest of criminals.” Also, the Publicity Secretary of the Afenifere, Mr Yinka Odumakin, told one of our correspondents that the group was concerned about the rising insecurity in the region. He said leaders of the group would attend the security summit being proposed by the South West governors if they were invited.
“When it is time, all the stakeholders in the South-West would be involved in the security summit, none will be left out.” In a similar development, the OPC led by Aare Gani Adams, has said it was ready to flush out armed Fulani herdsmen kidnapping and perpetrating criminal activities in the region.
