The pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has commended the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, the Governors of Ogun and Lagos states, and the Commissioners of Police in both states for their decisive action against banditry and kidnapping along the Ogbere–Sagamu Road in Ogun State.

In a statement issued on behalf of the Leader of Afenifere, Chief Reuben Famuyide Fasoranti, the group’s National Organising Secretary, Abagun Kole Omololu, praised the security agencies for their swift, coordinated and intelligence-driven operations that restored safety to the area.

According to the statement, the successful operation demonstrated the effectiveness of inter-state collaboration, purposeful leadership and professional policing in confronting organised criminality.

“The swift restoration of security reflects the value of purposeful leadership, professional policing, and effective inter-state and inter-command cooperation,” the statement said.
