The IGP stated this while addressing a grand reception in honour of prominent Yewa indigenes held in Erinja, Yewa South local government of Ogun State over the weekend.
While addressing the evolving security challenges facing their communities, the IGP stressed the need for vigilance and security consciousness.
He urged collaboration with the police and other law enforcement agencies to ensure the safety and security of the people, emphasizing the role they all play in building safer communities that protect lives and property.
He similarly urged the youths to discourage violence and social vices that undermine communal peace and security, calling on them to channel their energy toward productive endeavours that uplift society, recognising their role as the future leaders of their land.
Force spokesperson, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi said in his heartfelt address to his people, the IGP expressed gratitude for the warm reception and reflected on the significance of returning to his hometown, Erinja.
This homecoming, he noted, filled him with great joy as it allowed him to reconnect with the roots that have shaped his life.
He highlighted the enduring values of love, unity and togetherness that the Yewa land and its communities, including Ilobi and Erinja, have always cherished.
