Ogun Police warn against attending vigils to avoid being kidnapped - Punch Newspapers

Police in Ogun on Sunday warned the public against organising prayer sessions at night, especially in forest area, to avoid being victims of kidnappers.

Police spokesman in Ogun, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, gave the warning in a statement made available to newsmen, in Ota, Ogun State. Oyeyemi noted that the Ogun State Police Command had observed with great concern that, despite the series of warnings and security tips from the Command, some members of public are still in the habit of organising prayer sessions in the forest, thereby making themselves easy prey for kidnappers.

“However, inasmuch as the Command is not oblivious of right to freedom of religion, it is worthy of note that the present security situation in the country does not favorably dispose anyone to organising prayer sessions in isolated places,” the PPRO said.

Can you imagine!

This is not the right position the police force has taken in tackling kidnapping issue in 'Ogun', the police force are instituted to tackle those who don't want others to express their freedom of movement, association as enshrined in our constitution & not to in freedom denial.
