“As part of our proactive security measures, the Police Command has conducted multiple sensitisation sessions with key stakeholders, including hoteliers, lounge owners, and operators of studio apartments, to emphasise the importance of refusing to make their facilities available for hosting gatherings associated with cult groups known for violent activities”.

 

According to him, the safety of all residents remains “Our highest priority.

 

“We therefore call on parents, guardians, community leaders, and influential figures to collaborate with law enforcement in mitigating these risks.

He urged the public to remain vigilant and immediately report any suspicious activities, gatherings, or threats to the police

 

In order to ensure swift response and maintain order, he said arrangements have been concluded for the deployment of police officers across strategic locations within the state during this period.

 

“Together, we can foster a safe environment for all residents of Oyo State”, he added.

 

Osifeso reaffirmed the Command’s dedication to peace, safety, and security through professional policing, leveraging advanced intelligence and technology.

 

“We are committed to ensuring that Oyo State remains a peaceful and secure place for everyone”, he said.
