The Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone XI Command, Osogbo, AIG Olanrewaju Yomi Oladimeji, has directed the Commissioners of Police in Osun and Oyo Commands to rid the area of kidnappers and cultists who have been disturbing the peace of their respective commands.
The directive was contained in a resolution issued at the end of a security meeting by the Spokesperson of the zone, CSP Benjamin Ayeni on Friday in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, warning the tactical commanders serving under the jurisdiction against treating anyone culpable of any offence with kid gloves.
The meeting was held between the AIG Oladimeji, the Commissioners of Police for Oyo and Osun Commands and the tactical commanders.
The meeting was also held to strategize how to protect the lives of both security personnel and citizens, as well as all property within the zone.
The statement read, “Most of the resolutions of the security meeting were considered as issues that needed to be kept from public domain for security reasons.
“Members of the public are assured that the police would take proactive action against crime and criminality to maintain the zone’s record as a peace haven.”
