The Osun State Government has been rated 13th in an index of the National Bureau of Statistics NBS, in the rankings of states with the most crime rates recorded.

In the data released by the NBS for its crime statistics for 2016, the state was ranked on the 13th position with an 0.94 index.

This according to the Special Adviser to Governor Rauf Aregbesola on Security Matters, Mr Tope Adejumo, the feat was doable through various intervention by the government in beefing up the security of the state since it assumed office.

Speaking with newsmen in Osogbo, Mr. Adejumo hinted that since 2012 when the Swift Action Anti-Robbery Squad SARS was established, other measures have been taken to secure lives and property in the state.

His words “The government of Ogbeni Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola in July, 2012 established SARS which enforced security in the state. About 25 Armoued personnel carriers were purchased for security out of which five were locally made and twenty were top grade state-of-the-art equipment imported from China. 125 security patrol vehicles were also commissioned to assist security agents discharge their duties.”

“Aside this, government provided financial support to the security agencies, engaged security men as sheriff guards as well as the recently launched Edu Marshals for the enforcement of discipline in public schools across the state.”

Adejumo added that “In furtherance of ensuring security, the government procured one helicopter for aerial security surveillance as well as Osun Citizens Mediation Center, O’Mediation for alternative dispute resolution.”

Corroborating him, the Osun State commissioner of police, Mr. Fimihan Adeoye said the command apart from ensuring security in the state also partners local vigilante volunteers and indigenous security agencies to boost its productivity.

Adeoye who lauded Ogbeni Aregbesola’s government efforts on security noted that advocacies are on to enlighten members of the public the more on safeguarding their lives through the mass media and reporting to the police any breach of security in their area.

The duo maintained that as the government is trying to ensure the security of the whole state, citizens and residents should ensure that they protect themselves and report appropriately, any case of security breach in their environment.
