KUNLE RASHEED ADEGOKE |
A governorship aspirant on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming governorship election in Osun State, ‘Kunle Rasheed Adegoke (K-Rad), has condoled with the government of Kwara State, the Oloffa of Offa, the entire people of Offa and Kwara State and the families of the victims of the robbery that took so many lives in Offa. In a statement, Adegoke, who is in Mecca for the lesser hajj, condemned the robbery.
He said: “While I commiserate with the government of Kwara State, the Oloffa of Offa, the entire people of Offa and Kwara State in general and the distraught families of the victims of this heinous incident, I call on the government to step up in its sacred duty of protection of lives and property by setting up a security trust fund involving the participation of all stakeholders in Kwara State for the protection of lives and property.
“I also encourage localisation of banks in the same area in Offa and other towns for easy monitoring and protection by the police as this unfortunate incident has become quite rampant in recent times in Offa.” Adegoke listed benefits of “the security trust fund to include provision of arms and ammunition to the police and to assist in catering for the ill-motivated members of the force serving in the state.”
He suggested the need to “assist the families of the deceased victims and the injured as many bread winners and glories of tomorrow have been cut down in their prime. “To avoid compounding the already exacerbated state of our social welfare in terms of vagrants that incidents like the recent killings beget, it is fundamental to take care of the unlucky widows and orphans naturally begotten by this sad occurrence. “The police apparatus at all levels need to work assiduously to arrest and prosecute timeously the perpetrators of this dastardly act to serve as deterrent to others.”
