Ekiti State Government has said that the recent advisory issued by the state Command of the Police was not to scare residents and visitors
but to increase vigilance to forestall criminal activities that are
inimical to the prevailing relative peace in the State.
The Ekiti state police command had reportedly alerted residents of the
state of planned attack on motorcyclists and passengers by suspected
hoodlums citing credible intelligence which uncovered the plot by some
armed hoodlums to attack people especially at night.
The State Commissioner for Information, Rt. Hon. Taiwo Olatunbosun, in
a statement made available to newsmen in Ado Ekiti, assured residents
of the State of the safety of their lives and property.
Rt. Hon. Olatunbosun stressed that Ekiti State remains a no-go area
for criminals, adding that hoodlums have no hiding place in the State.
Highlighting proactive strategies of the State Government for crime
prevention to include multi-agency partnerships, intelligence-led
policing, problem-solving approaches, and community involvement,
Olatunbosun stated that the robust synergy of all the security
agencies contributed immensely to the relative peace and tranquility
the State is enjoying.
The Commissioner assured that the Government would continue to
effectively deploy all available security apparatus and work with
relevant security agencies to guarantee a safe environment for the
residents.
Urging people in the State to go about their lawful businesses without
fear of intimidation, Olatunbosun emphasized the need for citizens to
remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity or movement to
relevant security agencies.
