Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has summoned an emergency meeting of the state security council to review ongoing operations designed to checkmate criminal activities in the state.

In a statement signed by spokesperson to the governor, Olawale Rasheed, the meeting is slated for this week, while Adeleke has ordered regular patrols by combined team of security personnel to stem robberies and kidnappings and as well reinforce the successes currently being recorded by the security agencies.

The governor re-assured residents of his administration’s commitment to ensuring security of life and property, adding that top officials had been detailed to interface with security agencies on anti-crime operations.

“Security agencies are re-strategising to stop any further security breaches. Be rest assured that efforts are in top gear to stop criminal infiltrators and bring them and their sponsors to book,” he said.

“I, however, appeal to you to be security conscious. We must all become security whistle-blowers. Report any untoward activities. When you noticed unusual movements and development in your areas, inform security operatives.

“I also plead with residents of the state to be mindful of timing and manner of their movements. For now, it is advisable to avoid late night or early morning travelling. We must secure ourselves as security is everybody’s business,” Adeleke further said.
