OPC promises to secure southwest against insurgence
Following the terror attack on a Church in Owo, Ondo State last Sunday, causing the death of over 20 worshippers, the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), has expressed readiness to work with conventional security outfits to protect the Southwest region.
Claiming that Ekiti may not be completely free from attacks, the OPC deployed its men in strategic places across the state to tackle criminal elements perpetrating killings and kidnapping.
Speaking in Ado Ekiti at the inauguration of the OPC new executive in Ekiti State, on Wednesday, the National President of the Pan-Yoruba organisation, Prince Ogboni Osibote, said the body had told the Southwest governors how the marauding herdsmen and other criminals could be tackled.
Osibote said the leadership of the body had interfaced with the governors of the region to partner with the body to work with other security personnel to maintain the security of lives and property.
