To check the rising rate of kidnapping, terrorism and other criminal activities, the Oyo State Police Commissioner, Mr Joseph Mbu, has urged Nigerian leaders to provide good governance, jobs and infrastructure.
Mbu made the call in Ibadan at a symposium on ?Tackling Kidnapping, Hijack and Terrorism in Nigeria?? organised by an NGO, Global Alternative Agenda.
Represented by CSP Olatunji Disu, the Western zone Coordinator, Anti-terrorism Squad of the Nigeria Police, Mbu said criminal activities had placed tremendous pressure on security agencies.
He urged the people to support security agencies in eradicating crime, adding that adequate and timely information would help in carrying out their duties.
Mr Clement Adesuyi, the Commandant, Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), Oyo Command, said peace was necessary for development.
Represented by Mr Alao Sulu, Assistant Commandant of Corps, Adesuyi said eternal vigilance was the price for freedom.
According to him, no Nigerian is immune from crime considering the kidnapping of high ranked people.
The Chief Whip of Oyo State House of Assembly, Mr Abiodun Adigun, said political leaders should shun display of wealth and oppression and serve the electorate to the best of their abilities.
?The people will definitely react in situations where political office holders flaunt their wealth and fail to provide basic infrastructure needed by the people,?? he said.
Mr Waliu Adekunle, the Chairman of the House Committee on Works and Transport, blamed the rising spate of terrorism and kidnapping on bad leadership and influence of foreign culture.
Adekunle promised to ensure the domestication of the anti-terrorism bill in the state.
The President of the Global Alternative Agenda, Mr Oludare Ogunlana, urged the people to pay more attention to their security as the nation was gradually overcoming its security challenges.
Ogunlana said the nation started the fight against terrorism ? blindly??, adding that military action ought to be the last resort after intelligence, economic sanctions and law enforcement.
