'Allow us flush bandits out of Lagos-Ibadan Expressway bushes,' Gani Adams charges 3 key governors
Meanwhile, the Aareonakakanfo of Yoruba land, Gani Adams on Friday, November 11, urged three governors of the southwest region to allow the newly inaugurated Oodua People's Congress (OPC) dependable team and the South West Security Stakeholders Group (SSSG) to flush kidnappers out of their hideouts along Lagos-Ibadan Express Way.
Adams in a statement received by Legit.ng expressed concern over the incessant attacks on travellers plying the road.
In the statement signed by Kehinde Aderemi, his special assistant on media, Adams noted that since the police had failed to honour the earlier arrangements to provide effective security along the road, it is pertinent to ask the governors to allow the local security networks to take charge across the region.
