The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Chief Gani Adams, has expressed optimism that the partnership between the Nigeria Police Force and the O’odua People’s Congress will help in tackling a lot of security problems in the country.
Adams, who is also the OPC President, stated this during a news conference in Lagos on Thursday.
He said with the synergy, criminals who used to hide under the security agencies to commit crimes, would no longer be able to do so as they would be fished out.
Adams said, “It (partnership) is a welcome development; it is a breakthrough for the Inspector-General of Police. I think the ball is in our court now to put our house in order.
“As the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, I have decided that not only OPC but all the relevant groups in Yoruba land will work with the police.
“Before the security summit, I have been meeting the South-West vigilantes and the Agbekoyas. We want to extend the invitation to hunters and all stakeholders in security to build the structure that will liaise with the police. I believe this (partnership) is the beginning of breakthrough on the issue of insecurity in South-West.”
Adams said Yoruba must continue to promote their culture and heritage, especially their identities, noting that the ethnic nationality was fast losing its identity because of civilisation and education.
