Makinde, Insecurity Is Getting Messier In Oyo State by AniOmaa: 9:19am On Dec 25, 2020 |
Makinde, insecurity is getting messier in Oyo State WITH the police deficient and the promised succour from the Western Nigerian Security Network known as Operation Amotekun yet to materialise, serial security breaches in Oyo State are inflicting a heavy toll on citizens. Kidnapping for ransom, highway robbery and herdsmen attacks are escalating to dangerous proportions in different parts of the state, affecting residents, expatriates and business. The governor, Seyi Makinde, will undoubtedly require new energy, initiatives and uncommon courage to overcome this messy security challenge. Right through 2020, the state has witnessed high-level insecurity. At the weekend, the vast chronicle of breaches swelled up again after a female quarry worker was abducted in the Moniya-Ojoo area of Ibadan, the state capital. Damilola Agboola’s kidnapping comes a week after kidnappers seized two Indians in front of a pharmaceutical firm near the (old) tollgate on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. Shortly before that incident, a Lebanese, Hassan Mill, was rescued from the clutches of abductors. Unfortunately, a Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps officer lost his life in the operation, while a soldier sustained injuries. In the north of the state, herdsmen militia, kidnappers and armed robbers have formed a sinister triumvirate. Recently, youths in Ibarapa staged a rally to protest against the gruesome killing of Fatai Aborode, a prominent farmer in the area, by robbers, and persistent herdsmen attacks. “The destruction of farms is massive and investors are losing huge amounts of money every day,” a youth leader said. “I am also a farmer and I know that there are at least three cases of farm plundering every day.” In October, the menacing agents grabbed the chairman of the Iganna Local Council Development Authority, Jacob Olayiwola, on his way to a meeting with the governor. A ransom of N200 million was demanded for his release. This instigated Gani Adams, the leader of the O’odua People’s Congress, to warn twice in September that terrorists had infiltrated the forests in that part of the state and could launch major attacks soon. “I have confirmed intelligence reports that the historic Kisi town has been ravaged by terrorists,” Adams said. “(The) killing and kidnapping of over a hundred people are frightening and worrisome.” Adams’ call went largely unheeded as farmers and people are still unable to farm or attend to their businesses. Insecurity is so extensive in Ibarapa and Oke-Ogun in Oyo North that in September, the traditional ruler of Iseyin, Adekunle Salau, urged the distracted Federal Government to find solutions. In truth, that is a waste of time. In Nigeria, the centralised policing system has failed woefully. With officer strength of about 370,000, a third of which has been deployed to guard VIPs, the police serve little or no purpose. Even the military, deployed in joint operations in 33 states, including Oyo, are overwhelmed, turning Nigeria into a vast killing field by Boko Haram, bandits and Fulani herdsmen militia. Rather, a political ego drama is playing out between the federal security forces and the OPC. After some arrests in the forests of Oyo North in September, the parties both claimed they were responsible. This is superfluous; the hard-pressed people need tight security, not the arguments about its provision. As early as January, the state had been witnessing horrific crimes. That month, a popular herbal medicine practitioner, Fatai ‘Oko Oloyun’ Yusuf, was shot dead by bandits on his way from Lagos to Iseyin where he had just opened a large business outfit. His death, like several others, was blamed on the usual suspects – herdsmen, kidnappers and robbers – who prowl the area unchallenged. In July, robbers stormed a new generation bank in Okeho in an 18-seater bus. They injured several people, including some police officers that responded to the attack. Fortunately, the town’s vigilantes apprehended some of them. In tow, a series of incidents in Ibadan have exposed the weak security architecture of the state. An alleged mastermind of ritual killings in Akinyele LGA, Sunday Shodipe, escaped after his initial arrest from police custody to the consternation of communities he had terrorised. He was re-arrested about two weeks after. In June, robbers made life extremely unpleasant for different communities in the state capital, including Apete, where some students of The Polytechnic, Ibadan, reside. The felons, numbering about 20, invaded the community, robbing up to 40 houses. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://punchng.com/makinde-insecurity-is-getting-messier-in-oyo-state/%3Famp%3D1&ved=0ahUKEwiQi9-m2ejtAhWRIDQIHYJFCQQ4FBDIzwEIMzAB&usg=AOvVaw0ppmLi8fWEVp_UrCW7Z691&cf=1 |

All these attempts by the South west to malign the president with news of insecurity will never work. If we don't fight these people, they will start to claim that it's fulani people that are causing insecurity across the country. |

It's easy to see that Bandits and terrorist elements from the North are really flooding into the South west region where they hold sway, Amotekun corps have shown they are grossly incompetent and untrained... as they're either too busy shooting their own citizens, or looking for whom to harass for various petty reasons and are thus completely useless in matters of security. The South East needs to wake up, those savages from the desert region really mean business. 1 Like |

Truth be told. Security in Oyo State is at its lowest ebb. The security agencies seem to be sleeping. |

BraggaJagunlabi:So are you saying the bandits and criminal elements perpetuating these heinous crimes are actually Yoruba? if true then that's really worrying... as if skull mining, rapes, cultism, armed robbery and ritual killings weren't bad enough, adding the ropes of banditry to our list of vices doesn't look good for the Yoruba nation. 2 Likes |

What do you expect when you killed the policemen that are supposed to protect you? You guys even went ahead to eat the dead bodies of policemen. Makinde is the chief security officer of the state,ask him what is he doing with the security vote he collect from Abuja every month? Enjoy your endsars! 1 Like |
