The pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has commended the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and the Commissioners of Police in Ogun and Lagos states for what it described as their decisive response to banditry and kidnapping along the Sagamu-Ore Road corridor.
In a letter of commendation made available to PUNCH Online on Tuesday, issued on behalf of Afenifere leader Chief Reuben Fasoranti and signed by the group’s National Organising Secretary, Abagun Omololu, the organisation praised the coordinated security operations for restoring confidence and significantly reducing criminal activities along the corridor.
“We commend the Inspector-General of Police, the Governors of Ogun and Lagos States, Prince Dapo Abiodun and Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, as well as the Commissioners of Police in both states, for their decisive response to banditry and kidnapping along the notorious Sagamu-Ore Road corridor,” the statement read.
Afenifere described the joint operation as “a demonstration of purposeful leadership, professional policing and effective inter-state collaboration,” adding that the commitment shown by the Ogun and Lagos State governments had created an enabling environment for security agencies to discharge their constitutional responsibilities effectively.
