Alaafin Promises To Support Oyo Govt. To Curb Kidnapping


Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi says efforts are on-going to support the state government to tame kidnapping and other criminal activities in Oyo State.
The monarch disclosed this to newsmen in Ibadan on Monday after he paid a courtesy visit to Gov. Abiola Ajimobi in his office.
He said that traditional rulers, government and security agencies were working together to ensure that the state got rid of criminal activities.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Adeyemi led members of the Oyo State Traditional Council to the governor’s office.
He said “We cannot act independently of the government and security agencies. We must be very careful not to reveal the strategies or plans we have.
“These kidnappers are in our midst and we are working with security agencies to ensure that the crime is nip in the bud. Our traditional rulers are working within their localities.
“They are working also working vigilante groups to ensure that lives and properties of the people are saved. By the grace of God, in the next two or three weeks, you will see the result of our efforts.’’
He commended Ajimobi for changing the face of Oyo State, adding that his eight years in office were blessings to the state.
“I believe very much that if there is any agency that can make a correct appraisal of any government performance at the state level, no agency is better placed than the traditional rulers in state.
“I make bold to say that the eight years of Ajimobi’s stewardship as governor has been more of a blessing to the state. He has really changed the face of this state,’’ he said.
Adeyemi commended Ajimobi’s approach to the rehabilitation of roads in all six zones of the state, saying the projects were executed with justice and equity.
