Ajimobi meets Oyo police commissioner over security

Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State, on Tuesday, met with the state Police Commissioner, Mr Mbu Joseph Mbu, on the need to beef up security, preparatory to the forthcoming Yuletide.
The governor, while speaking at the state police headquarters, Eleyele, Ibadan, reiterated his administration’s commitment to the security of life and property in the state.
He said that his visit was necessitated by the need to beef up security in the state, particularly as Christmas and New Year are fast approaching, with their attendant security challenges.
Governor Ajimobi also said that the importance attached to the issue of security had necessitated the setting up of the joint security task force codenamed ‘Operation Burst.’
He described the state as an amalgam of various ethnic groups and hotbed of political activities in the South-West geopolitical zone, saying that the state deserved adequate policing.
The governor expressed his administration’s readiness to support the police in the areas of logistics and operational equipment to enhance the performance of the officers and men of the force.
In his remarks, the police commissioner commended the governor for taking time to visit the command, assuring that his men would work assiduously for the success of Governor Ajimobi’s administration.
Meanwhile, Governor Ajimobi has paid a sympathy visit to a member of the state House of Assembly, Honourable Bamidele Ojo, at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan.
Ojo, representing Ibadan South-East II, was shot by gunmen in Egbeda Local Government Area of the state, while his car was also snatched.
