IBADAN — The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Oyo State has expressed concern over the recent wave of kidnappings and violent crimes in the state, saying the development has reinforced the need for renewed national discussions on state policing and sub-national security management.

The opposition party blamed Governor Seyi Makinde for what it described as the worsening security situation in the state, citing incidents of kidnappings, murders and attacks by hoodlums.
