Leader of the Oodua Peoples
Congress, OPC, Gani Adams
has said the socio-cultural
group is ready to help
government in checking
criminal activities, especially
vandals of oil installations.
Speaking with NAN on
Wednesday, Adams said the
OPC was forced to withdraw
its security service after
being blacklisted by the
government.
He condemned the recent
abduction of Goriola Oseni,
the traditional ruler of Iba
town in Iba local council
development area of Lagos
state, and other atrocious
acts that violent groups
have committed in parts of
Lagos and Ogun states.
On Saturday, suspected
Niger Delta militants abducted
Oseni from his palace after
shooting one of his wives
and killing his guard.
“I condemn the kidnapping of
a traditional ruler (Oba) and
others in Lagos. I also
condemn the killings in some
parts of the state in recent
time,” he said.
“Vandals have killed a
number of persons in
Ikorodu area. They are
involved in pipeline
vandalism before now; they
are involved in ritual killings.
“We, OPC, are ready to help
the government in providing
security if we are invited. We
participated in providing
security before, but the
police took us as criminals.
“We do not want people to
misunderstand us again;
hence we resolved to
provide security for only
those that request for our
services.
“The federal government
should not take the security
of Lagos state for granted. It
is a state housing all ethnic
groups and their
investments.”
Adams noted that in spite of
OPC’s contributions to
security in the south-west,
the government or the
people had not appreciated
its efforts.
He said all hands should be
on deck if the security
situation must be addressed,
adding that the kidnapping of
a monarch is an insult to
Lagos and Ogun state
governments and urged
security agencies to step up
their operations.
