Ondo Police Commissioner, Govt’s officials never visited Ose LGA despite killings, kidnapping —Ondo North Youths lament

…….Make 10 demands to end insecurity in Ose/Owo/Akoko areas.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ondo North Youth Alliance Press Statement

ONDO NORTH YOUTHS UNEQUIVOCALLY CONDEMN THE GRUESOME KILLING OF TWO AND KIDNAPPING IN OSE LGA
HEEPS BLAMES ON SECURITY MALFEASANCE

…..SAYS ONLY A FEW LEADERS HAVE SYMPATHIZED WITH THE PEOPLE OF OSE
VOWS TO REJECT SUBJUGATION OF ANY PART OF ONDO NORTH DEMANDS IMMEDIATE FGN INTERVENTION

The leadership of Ondo North Youth Alliance unequivocally condemns and berates the security malfeasance in Ose LGA regarding the recent kidnapping of innocent citizens. And the killing of two – The driver and a passenger. We strongly regret the inadequate security intervention before and after the criminal abduction.

As a responsible youth platform, we maintain harmonious relationships with security agencies while protecting the interests of our people. We are therefore disappointed at the kid gloves with which the situation is handled.

We recall that the Executive Governor of Ondo State, Hon. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, recently provided new Hilux vehicles to boost security across the state. Unfortunately, security has deteriorated in our axis, despite this initiative.

Sadly, until this moment the people of Ose LGA are yet to see, security chiefs, led by the commissioner of police sympathize with our people. We are yet to see convincing statements from constituted authority grieving with our people and arresting the situation. The people of Ose are humans and deserve better treatment.

We expect condemnations from all and sundry and human face.

Our people will stand with only those who identify with us.

Consequently, all youth leaders within the Senatorial districts should now fly the black emblem as a symbol of our resistance and pains.

Ose LGA will never be forgotten, and neither will the people be subjugated.

We demand:

  1. Immediate and unconditional release of kidnapped victims
  2. Declaration of a state of emergency in Ose Local Government by the Governor
  3. Immediate rehabilitation of roads
  4. Improved security
  5. Succor for the families of the deceased
  6. A codified plan to exterminate insecurity in our region
  7. Proactive response to the yearnings and aspirations of our people
  8. Call for an emergency youth conference while our national assembly members and other stakeholders play important roles to save constituents.
  9. FGN must immediately direct support and relief. As well as the construction of deplorable federal government roads.
  10. Demands nationwide criticism of the dastard act. It is unforgivable the criminal silence from political leaders.

The people of Ifon are grieving, and a dark cloud looms over Ose LGA. We are no longer safe, and we can not remain silent. We give the security architecture and government 7 days to restore the fundamentals of government in our axis. Failure will lead to lawful reactions from our people, permitted within the laws of the federation, to drive home our demands for safety.

As we mourn, we remember all lost lives in our district. Our heart bleeds. This must be the last sacrifice of innocent lives to insecurity in our domain. Enough is enough.

Signed:

Ojo Bright Eniafe
President, Ondo North Youth Alliance
