DEGENERATING EFFECTS OF SECURITY ACROSS NIGERIA
The security issues in Ondo state have seen a high rate of crime in the last few weeks, it’s time the degenerating security apparatus in the state be given a concise effort before it goes beyond a point of no remedy.
The security issues affecting Ondo state is fast becoming an issue to be looked into and practically nibbed before it escalated into a normal occurrences in the state, although since the #EndSARS protests, security status has never remain the same in the country and security has been a labor issue even before the protests.
Recently so, in Ondo a first class Oba was killed by people believed to be kidnappers along Owo/Ifon highway. The Olufon of Ifon in ose local government area of the state Oba Israel Adeusi was killed around alagbeka, the king demise and ugly occurrences had finally settled when another news of the kidnap of the wife of the state's chief-of-staff was also kidnapped along Owena area and have not been released till date.
Initially, much cognizance are not usually placed on security issues or threat that doesn't affects the rich and highly placed in the society, but now that security threats to lives and property have witnessed a high rising rate among those who are detailed with personal security and aides, the governor of the state has made a statement rejecting such actions and vow to bring perpetrators to book.
Should the security threat around continue in full throttle, it will be difficult to envisage the position of the country by the end of the year and subsequent occurrences and who the next target might be. It's unfortunate that even through all security threats to lives and properties the inspector general of police still keeps his job, the presidency must be seeing something in him no one can, else he should have lost the position a long time ago.
Only God can tell the situation this country will be if the security issue is not arrested in good time, some part of Lagos has become a trap where no one can walk and not be harassed, robed or killed, individuals have now turn vigilantees at night to repel the attack of thieves and armed robbers at night and kidnapping and killing has been sent on a major rise than ever in the country.
The main prayer for now is May we all get to 2023 alive
