A chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti state, Mr Ayodeji Adarabierin, has called on the youths of the state to eschew criminal activities that could lead them into trouble.
Adarabierin who is the pioneer patron of the Police Community Relations Committee PCRC (Youth wing), in the state also commended police in the state for their spontaneous action against recent killings in Ado Ekiti, the state capital which led to the arrest of notorious criminals who unleashed mayhem on some PoS operators and other victims .
This came as the police arrested three more suspects for murder, cultism and illegal possession of firearms.
The senior special assistance to the governor on tax and revenue matters, in a statement made available to journalists, urged the residents of the state to keep supporting the police and other security agencies with relevant information to help them secure the state better, adding that security is everybody’s business.
Promising his continued engagement with relevant stakeholders in the security sector on how to ensure that the state remains peaceful he said that no meaningful development can be achieved in an atmosphere devoid of peace, hence the need to sustain the present tranquility in the state in order to give room for more development under the present administration.
He said, “With the arrest of these criminal elements, the State Capital would witness some degree of peace as the gang constitutes a major percentage of the violent crimes being perpetrated in recent times.
“We are all aware of the various damages these set of criminals had done to law abiding citizens in the state, especially the souls they have taken during their operations and I sincerely want to appreciate the efforts of the police in the state for making these arrest possible and I urged them to sustain the tempo in the ongoing war against crimes in our society.”
