Allow us flush bandits out of Lagos-Ibadan expressway bushes – Gani Adams

The Aare Onakakanfo of Yoruba land, Iba Gani Abiodun Adams, has urged Governors Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Dapo Abiodun (Ogun) and Babajide Sanwoolu (Lagos) to allow the newly inaugurated Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) Dependable Team and Southwest Security Stakeholders Group (SSSG) flush those he described as criminal elements out of their hideouts along Lagos-Ibadan expressway.

Aare Adams, in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Aderemi, expressed concern over the incessant attacks on travellers plying the road.

He said since the police had failed to honour the earlier arrangements to provide effective security along the highway, it is pertinent to ask the Governors to allow the OPC, Amotekun and other security groups like the hunters, vigilante, COMSAIC, Isokan Oodua under the auspices of the SSSG to get rid of terrorists from the bushes.

Expressing worry at the increasing spate of insecurity along the expressway, Iba Adams stated further that the only way out of the quagmire is to allow the OPC to face the battle for the restoration of peace along the road.

“There has been an abnormal surge in cases of kidnapping along the Lagos-Ibadan Express Way. The information at my disposal indicates the surge in the numbers of terrorists and kidnappers hiding at Sapade, a 62km town to Ibadan.
