The Oyo State Police Command has launched its campaign against cultism and other criminalities in the state in pursuit of its statutory duties.
The police, in a statement made available to journalists in the state on Tuesday by its Public Relations Officer, Olugbenga Fadeyi, said the campaign was initiated by the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu.
According to the statement, the Commissioner of Police, Oyo State Command, Nwachukwu Enwonwu, indicates that the campaign was first launched on August 13, 2015, when the current IGP was the Commissioner of Police in Enugu.
It read that “The campaign is aimed at saving Nigerian youths from the claws of cultism and other vices, making our environment safe and secured in line with the tenets of community-oriented policing.
“Furthermore, relevant stakeholders, the media, corporate organisations, political class, student union bodies, town union leaders, faith-based organisations, post-primary school management board, ministry of youth and sports, labour union and trade union bodies, artisans, women and market unions, sister security agencies, men of the new media, neighbourhood watch groups among others are implored to be part of this initiative by the IGP.
“Consequent upon this, two new jingles on the sensitisation of the general public have been released and attached for the media houses to use from time to time to enlighten the general public.”
