LAGOS- Aareonakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Abiodun Ige Adams on Sunday applauded the joint efforts of all the security operatives in Ibarapa on the arrest of most dreaded and notorious Kidnap kingpin, Abdullah Wakilu in a joint operation today.

The joint team of Ibarapa security operatives, including OPC, Vigilante and other groups had arrested Wakilu and three others after several attempts culminating in a gun battle.

Wakilu was nabbed barely seven days after his second-in-command, Isiaka Muhammadu, was arrested alongside four others, by the Oyo state chapter of the Oodua Peoples Congress on the directives of the Aareonakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Abiodun Ige Adams.

He was arrested around 7am on Sunday, and had been handed over to the Divisional police office, Igbo Ora, Oyo state.
Wakilu and his gang had, for a very long time,been involved in the killings and Kidnapping of several people in Ibarapa, Oke Ogun,Oyo state.
Speaking on the development, Iba Gani Adams, in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Aderemi, hailed the joint security team, saying the efforts paid off, coming at a time when Wakilu and his gang had made life unbearable to the people of Ibarapa and its environs in Oyo state.

“I am happy that the notorious kidnapper had been captured alongside three others. It is a good development and a positive signal to other criminal elements that the southwest is no longer an abode for bandits, kidnappers and criminal herders”

“I commend all the members of the joint security team that have made this possible because with the video at my disposal, it was purely a neat job”.
“With this development, I think the whole world will agree with me that the fight against insurgency, Kidnapping and banditry needs native intelligence, information gathering and grassroots support from local securities and operatives.”

“As I have said earlier that the effort to rid the southwest of bandits and kidnappers was to complement the efforts of the police and in doing that, it is also very important for the police to support the local security operatives because they are always at the grassroots and they have their ears to the ground on local security matters.”

Iba Adams pointed out that the success recorded so far will help in advancing the call for community policing,and further enhance police operations in information gathering, adding that the joint security team that arrested Wakilu did their job without taking laws into their hands”.

No criminal is invisible or untouchable if the people decides that enough is enough. Collectively we must rid the south west off criminal elements.

Kudos to the OPC operatives for effecting his arrest. Hopefully, the police will prosecute him for all the crimes he has committed against the people. Never again should such a criminal be allowed to live and fester among our people.

CONGRATULATIONS.......

NOW DONT RELENT .....KEEP THE PUSH ON AUTO-PILOT......

NEXT TIME "MINE THEIR SKULLZ"...AS YOU ALREADY KNOW, POLICE WILL RELEASE DEM...

THESE SAVAGES SHOULD BE EXPELLED.....AND YOUR BROTHERS/SISTERS AT IDP CAMPs IN BENIN REPUBLIC SHOULD RETURN HOME ASAP!!

I thought they said the wakilu has charms

Sirjamo:
I thank the OPC and Aare Gani Adams for a job well done.

I thank them for not taking laws into their hands.


They should hand the suspects over to the police and follow the case up to convictions and sentences.

LegendHero:


If I were the OPC, I would have wasted him during the gun duel and moved on.

However, I think OPC is being considerate of the state government and trying to operate within the laws by arresting and handing him over to the police. Well, still fine.

The matter is now in the hands of our media and intellectual guys to follow up and pressurize the players on this case and make sure Wakili is made to face the wrath of the law.

OPC was suppose to kill the blood sucking Wakili and claim he engaged them in gun battle.
Arresting him and handing him over to the Police won't do us any good, he will be freed.

Miyetti Allah terrorist group is already protesting against his arrest, Buhari will soon order his release.


Miyetti Allah never spoke up when Iskilu Asalailu was terrorising the people of Ibarapa, The Police never said anything, Makinde didn't do enough to get him arrested.

OPC should have killed him.
Let us see how it goes because I know he will be released.

Coldie:
Stop attacking innocent fulanis.

Every criminal now, is a fulani. How did they know he is a kidnapper where are the victims.

Is evans a herdsmen

You this Igbo boy!

I thought you said they should Stop attacking innocent Hausas just over three weeks ago, you said they should enter forest and face the likes of Wakali.

Well, they just did and he was captured like a chicken.
