Oyo State House of Assembly, yesterday, at its plenary, decried killings, kidnappings and social vices in some parts of the state. Bamidele Adeola, representing Iseyin/Itesiwaju, during a matter of urgent public importance, stressed the urgent need to take proactive steps to stop kidnappings, killings and other social vices in Iseyin.

Adeola said Iseyin and environs had in recent times witnessed serious security threats because of rise in cases of kidnappings. The Speaker, Adebo Ogundoyin, described some of the recent cases of insecurity in the state as very pathetic, and stressed the need for a synergy of activities among all security agencies.

The House resolved to invite the Commissioner of Police, Amotekun Commandant and other heads of security agencies in the state for a security parley and to also brief the House on the state of insecurity in the state with a view to strengthening security architecture of Oyo under Omituntun 2.0.

It equally urged men of Oyo State security network agency to collaborate with other security operatives in the area of surveillance and patrol of volatile areas, highways and community forests where the kidnappers use as hideouts to perpetrate their evil plans.

The lawmakers further urged the 10th National Assembly to, as a matter of doctrine of necessity, consider the decentralisation of Nigeria’s security architecture and kick-start legislative process of constitutional amendment to enable state governments to handle security matters in their domains. They also called on security operatives in Oyo State to re-double their efforts to abate the spate of insecurity across the state.
