Oba Azeez Uthman Oyetunde Odunaye II JP, the revered Alagere of Ago-Are, has extended heartfelt gratitude to Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State for sanctioning the creation of a permanent Nigeria Mobile Police Squadron base in Ago-Are, located in the Oke Ogun area.
Strengthening Security and Promoting Stability in Oke Ogun
The traditional ruler lauded the governor’s unwavering commitment to enhancing the state’s security framework, noting that the new police installation will play a pivotal role in fostering peace and safety within Ago-Are and its environs. This initiative complements ongoing measures that have contributed to a notable 15% reduction in crime rates across the region since the start of 2024, as documented in recent security assessments.
Community Benefits and Official Endorsement
During a press briefing held in Ago-Are, Atisbo Local Government Area, Oba Odunaye emphasized the far-reaching advantages of the project, stating, “Governor Makinde has honored his promise to our community. This development will not only enhance security but also catalyze economic activities in our area.”
Comprehensive Security Strategy by the State Government
The establishment of this police squadron base forms a critical part of Governor Makinde’s extensive plan to upgrade law enforcement across Oyo State, with a special focus on historically vulnerable zones like Oke Ogun. The facility is slated to be equipped with cutting-edge technology to boost the operational effectiveness of the mobile police units stationed there.
Engaging the Community for Sustained Peace
Oba Odunaye urged local residents to actively engage in peacekeeping efforts and support law enforcement agencies. He assured that the police squadron will work hand-in-hand with traditional authorities and community leaders to protect lives and property. “Our collective efforts will pave the way for a safer and more secure environment,” he affirmed.
Prayers and Encouragement for Governor Makinde
In closing, the Alagere offered prayers for the governor’s continued good health and wisdom, saying, “May Allah grant you long life and insight in all your endeavors. Ameen.”
The project is expected to reach completion within the next few months, delivering a modernized facility that will enhance the mobile police force’s capacity to respond promptly and effectively to security challenges in the area.
