Commissioner of Police, Osun State, Mr Ibrahim Gotan, has warned criminals to stay away. He told the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Conference in Abuja: “Osun State will be too hot for criminals to operate. Already we have 18 suspected kidnappers and armed robbers.
“My vision is to focus on proactive initiatives designed to deny safe haven to criminal elements. The command has undertaken a comprehensive reassessment of its crime prevention strategies, with community policing serving as the foundation element of the approach.
“I have charged officers to uphold the highest standard of professionalism, discipline, dedication, integrity, and transparency in the course of their duties. They should shun corruption and illegal duties and imbibe community policing, which will enable the public and police to flush out criminals.
“This year, it will be too hot for the criminals. We are going all out for them, one after the other. I want to give kudos to officers as they rise to the task.
“We want to thank Governor Ademola Adeleke for his support in providing for us an operational vehicle with other sister security agencies to flush out hoodlums from the state. Osun is safe and peaceful.
