The Ogun State governor, Dapo Abiodun, on Tuesday, said over 30 patrol teams have been formed between Oyo and Ogun to tackle issues of kidnapping along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.

He said “We set up a joint security team with the Oyo State Government because we found out that the majority of these incidences are right at the border between us and Oyo State, they take advantage of that area as a blind spot.

“As we speak today, I think, there are not less than thirty patrol teams on that corridor of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway. These teams comprise soldiers, policemen, operatives from the DSS, men of the Civil Defence and vigilantes. “The last thing we want is for people to travel with the fear of being kidnapped and nothing can be more terrible as we approach the Yuletide season.

“We’ve also gone ahead and cleared both sides of the road, because of that element of surprise that they introduce when they jump out of the bushes and then kidnap and run away, so, we have approached our contractors to clear 50 meters on each side so it makes it difficult for them to use the bushes to hide.

“We are going beyond deployment of security teams, we are deploying drones to cover that road. These drones will allow us to see exactly what is happening there even before any occurrence.”All rights reserved.

Must you announce publicly anything you want to do on security? Why don't you do it quietly and let the results speak for you? Oh, I've forgotten that's how to demonstrate they're tackling problems that may actually not get off the ground.
