The Yoruba freedom agitation group, Oodua People’s Congress (OPC), has expressed its full readiness to work with the mainstream security agencies to tackle insecurity in Ondo State.
This was contained in a statement issued in Akure, on Friday, signed by Nafiu Sarafa, the acting Coordinator of OPC in the State.
According to him, OPC is ready to complement the security apparatus in the state in tackling the menace of herdsmen/ farmers clashes, kidnapping, banditry and other criminal activities.
“In the year under review, it’s very important to identify and salute the rear feat achieved by Gov. Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu in the area of security.
“Especially, during the high point of threat by withdrawal of all military personnel from all checkpoints and strategic positions across the state.
“In protest, the GOC of 32 Artillery Command, Owena Barracks, went ahead to resign his position as the chairman of the State Security Council.
“But the governor took charge, instructed the Amotekun commandant and the state Commissioner of Police to fill the security gap and restore confidence back to the body polity,” Sarafa noted.
He lauded the State Security Network codenamed Amotekun, saying “Another landmark achievement of the Amotekun Corps is the ability to keep the state safe by the adequate implementation of the anti-grazing law signed by the Akeredolu-led administration.
“All these laudable goals were made possible and achievable with the total support, encouragement and enabling environment given to the Amotekun Corps by the visionary governor to secure the people of Ondo State, its environs and their property,” he stated.
