Governor Adeleke Harps on Inter-State Policing In Osun
The Executive Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has called for the strengthening of inter-state policing to stem cross-border criminal activities.
The Governor hosted a meeting with the Assistant Inspector General of Police for Zone 11, AIG Akande Sikiru; Commissioner of Police in charge of Oyo State Command, CP Adebowale Williams; and Commissioner of Police in charge of Osun State Command, where he cited inter-state criminal attacks as a major issue demanding urgent attention.
According to the Governor, strengthening intelligence sharing and operational relationships among the State Commands will stop criminals in their tracks before they launch cross-border raids.
“I am elated to have all of you here led by the Police boss for the zone. Recent security breaches are traced to inter-state raids by criminals. So it is productive that we have all the relevant officers here. Let us strengthen collaboration and partnership. Osun must remain as peaceful as ever”, he intoned.
Responding, AIG Sikiru assured the State Governor that the Police Service is re-strategising to sustain the records of peaceful existence in the State.
“Your Excellency, we are more than ready to sustain peace in Osun state. You have a team of dynamic and gallant officers who are already deploying technology-driven approaches in law enforcement,” he noted.
