The Inspector General of Police, Tunji Disu, has deployed more detectives from the Force Headquarters, Abuja, to collaborate with the joint security team as part of intensified efforts to secure the release of the abducted teachers and students of three schools in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State. An informed police source told The abduction of schoolchildren and teachers in the Ogbomoso area, had exposed the vulnerability of rural communities and schools across the South-West. “Yorubaland is under attack.
Long ago, we warned and shouted. But our leaders continued to play politics and refused to act on the matter. Now we must face the reality that the enemies have surrounded us,” Afolabi showed. He argued that insecurity had reached a point where ordinary activities such as farming, travelling and schooling had become dangerous for many residents.
“We will not tolerate a situation where our children cannot safely attend school, where our people cannot travel or where our farmers cannot farm because of some foreign elements. “The time has come to take the bull by the horns and confront these unprovoked, cold-blooded and needless killings,”. The organisation warned that delays in confronting armed groups operating from forest corridors across the South-West would allow them to expand their influence and entrench criminal networks deeper into local communities.
“OPC wants governors in Yoruba-speaking South-West and beyond to urgently invite all vigilante, hunter and militant groups to join the war against terrorism in Yorubaland. “Governors must immediately declare a state of emergency and get all hands on board to collaborate with the security forces to restore peace to our native land,”.
