Following the incessant cases of
kidnapping and militant attacks in the Ikorodu area of Lagos state, the state commissioner of police, Fatai Owoseni, had an interactive session with community leaders in the area.
During his speech, Owoseni alleged that some of the leaders act as informants to some of the militants and kidnappers.
“There are Baales (village heads) that are informants and sponsors of criminals in this area. They allowed militants to build houses harbouring criminals in the creeks.
I want the royal fathers to call their chiefs to order. This meeting is convened to tell them that we will no longer tolerate silent conspiracy.
Traditional rulers cannot tell me they don’t know who is who in their domain. All communities are advised to organise their local vigilantes.”he said
