Insecurity: Flush Bandits Out Of Bushes Along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway-Gani Adams Urges Oyo, Lagos, Ogun Governors

Iba Gani Adams, Aareonakakanfo of Yorubaland, has encouraged governors Seyi Makinde of Oyo state, Prince Dapo Abiodun of Ogun state, and Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos state to give the newly constituted Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) reliable team and the South West Security Stakeholders Group (SSSG) permission to flush kidnappers out of their hideouts.
On Thursday, Aare Adams’s Special Assistant on Media Kehinde Aderemi released a statement in which he voiced alarm over the ongoing attacks on motorists.

It is necessary, he argued, for governors to grant permission to the OPC, Amotekun, and other security groups like the Hunters, Vigilante, COMSAIC, and Isokan Oodua operating under the auspices of the SSSG to clear the area of terrorists hiding in the bushes, as the Police had failed to keep their end of the security agreement along the road.

Iba Adams voiced concern over a recent uptick in crime along the road and went on to say that the only way out of the impasse was to give the OPC the authority to fight for the restoration of calm.

The number of kidnappings along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway has increased significantly out of proportion. From what I have gathered, it appears that the number of terrorists and kidnappers hiding out in Sapade has increased dramatically over the past few years. It’s a town of kilometers from Ibadan.

Concerning the prevalence of armed robbery along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, Oyo, Lagos, and Ogun Governors, Gani Adams has issued the following demand:

It’s clear that the cops were powerless to prevent the current situation, and the kidnappers are having a field day as a result. Since things have gotten out of hand, I think it’s time for the governors of Oyo, Ogun, and Lagos to give us permission to flush the outlaws out of their hiding spots.

Since this is the most important route in the southwest, we cannot let terrorists use it as a launching pad for more attacks on our area.

I promise the governors that we will find and eliminate all terrorist safehouses within three weeks.

To save face and ensure the safety of the road and other routes in the southwest, we can also collaborate with Amotekun.

While warning terrorists and bandits to stay away from the southwest region, the Yoruba generalissimo insisted that the Lagos-Ibadan Express Way is a strategic road in the region and that he would not stand by and allow terrorists who have been attacking travelers to seize control of such a facility.

The Kano-Kaduna or Abuja Road has become safe haven for terrorists; the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway is not. As a result, he argued, “the governors should let us relieve them of this route.”
