Security beeped up over attack threats on Osun communities
The Police Command in Osun State has revealed that adequate measures have been put in place to secure lives and property of residents of the state.
The Commissioner of Police, Olawale Olokode, gave the assurance in a statement issued by the command’s Spokesperson, Yemisi Opalola, on Friday.
According to Mr Olokode, the police have re-strategized the security architecture in the state to nib in the bud threat of ‘letters of attack’ on some communities.
He explained that the police were putting in efforts to ensure that residents went about their lawful businesses and sleep with their eyes closed.
He said: “This has become necessary due to the letters of invasion written to some communities in the state by unscrupulous elements.
“The police command, in collaboration with other security agents and local security outfits, is, however, working tooth and nail to arrest the criminals and bring them to book.
“We are using this avenue to re-assure the good people of the state of the police readiness to tackle all forms of criminal activities and threat.
“We urge members of the public to comport themselves and jettison fear of insecurity in the state,’’ he said,” he added.
The police commissioner advised citizens of the state to be conscious, vigilant, cooperate and collaborate with security agents by giving useful and timely information to them.
He urged them to report any suspicious movement or activity of criminals through these numbers: 08039537995 and 08123823981.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL has officially decided not to sell the Port Harcourt Refining Company.
NNPCL has, instead said it is committed to conducting an extensive rehabilitation of the facility and ensuring its continued operation.
During a company-wide town hall meeting held at the NNPC Towers in Abuja, Bayo Ojulari, the Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Ltd, announced the decision regarding the future of the nation’s most significant state-owned refining asset, putting an end to weeks of speculation.
A statement by NNPCL reads, “The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has officially ruled out the sale of the Port Harcourt Refining Company, reaffirming its commitment to completing high-grade rehabilitation and retention of the plant.
“The ongoing review indicates that the earlier decision to operate the Port Harcourt refinery, before full completion of its rehabilitation, was ill-informed and subcommercial.
”Although progress is being made on all three, the emerging outlook calls for more advanced technical partnerships to complete and high-grade the rehabilitation of the Port Harcourt refinery.
”Thus, selling is highly unlikely as it would lead to further value erosion.”
