The Police Commissioner (CP) in Ekiti State, Mr Tunde Mobayo, on Thursday, October 1, has raised the alarm over the planned influx of bandits into the state to unleash evil and cause havoc.

The CP said veracious intelligence report at its disposal confirmed that the bandits would pose as law-abiding citizens before settling down and start launching attacks on their host communities.

Mobayo implored residents “to be security conscious, extremely vigilant and report to the police immediately any suspected person or group of persons arriving, residing or found perambulating their environs”.

The commissioner, in a statement by the Police Public Relations Officer, Sunday Abutu, on Thursday also implored all landowners, landlords and agents “to be conscious of the identities of those they accommodated.

He also advised commercial drivers and motorcyclists “to be watchful and report to the police immediately any suspected traveller (s) arriving in any part of the state”.

Mobayo stated, “It has come to the notice of Ekiti State Police Command through intelligence gathering that some group of persons suspected to be armed hoodlums and criminally minded aliens have concluded their plans to enter Ekiti State in large number to unleash evil, cause havoc and create apprehension.

“Further intelligence gathered has it that the first set of the armed and criminally minded hoodlums will arrive in the state with the pretence of settling down peacefully with their host communities while the other set will come later to launch an attack and cause havoc.”

The CP assures the good people of Ekiti State of his determination to ensuring the safety of lives and properties of the citizens and implores all to give useful and timely information to the police that could lead to the arrest of suspected criminals through the nearest Police Station or call the police control room number”.
