Oyo police boss, Adebowale Williams, holds inaugural press briefing as command parade 42 Suspects, Recover Fresh Human Parts

Gentlemen of the press, it is indeed my honour and privilege to welcome you all to my maiden press briefing as the 44th Commissioner of Police, Oyo State Command. I would like to begin this media chat and briefing by thanking the Almighty God for giving me this unique opportunity to serve in one of the most indigenous cities in Nigeria also known as the Pacesetter State. My appreciation also goes to the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, psc (†), NPM, fdc, and the Police Service Commission, for finding me worthy of this symbolic assignment. With God and the support of everyone, Oyo state will witness a robust policing and peaceful environment.

1. I equally wish to recognize the immense contributions and professional policing principles adopted by my predecessor, AIG Ngozi Onadeko psc, fdc, who left a solid structural base for policing in the State. I wish to firmly state that under my watch, we shall improve upon this robust foundation to emplace a generally peaceful Oyo State where economic development and growth thrive.

3. The Police have the responsibility to maintain law and order and enforce all laws without prejudice to the enabling acts of all other security agencies in the State. In carrying out these statutory duties and delivering quality service, we shall continually give credence to the observation of the rule of law, being the foundation of our sacred democracy while equally admonishing the general populace, particularly our teeming youths to comport themselves and have respect for the extant laws of Oyo state and country at large. On our part, we shall ensure our officers respect and protect the rights of every citizen. Expect a drastic reduction in violation of citizens’ right.

1. As part of modalities emplaced to achieve this safety-assured vision, we have translated and fully activated IGP Usman Alkali Baba’s vision for the Police into more workable deliverables. In attaining this feat, we have commenced the use of intelligence-led and robust community oriented partnership where policing would be a participatory and collective responsibility of all. It is quick to add that as part of the instruments of community policing, this administration is open to work with all key stakeholders including but not limited to, credible informants, repentant criminals that can provide useful information to the Police. This will consequently be translated into veritable and actionable tools utilizable for clamping down on criminal elements and building credible and viable intelligence networks.

5.We are not oblivious of the fact that we are still faced with some security challenges in the State some of which are: robbery by men on motorcycles, kidnapping, mob action, cult clashes, snatching of vehicles/remove from park et cetera. I want to use this medium to sound a serious note of warning to criminal elements and perpetrators of these evil vices to desist from their unwholesome and nefarious activities as their criminal enterprise would not be allowed to flourish anywhere in the State. We shall not hesitate to identify, isolate and bring to deserved justice any person or group that attempts to threaten our sacred democratic order and peace.

6. It is our belief that these criminal elements that are daily scheming to make life intolerable for the law-abiding citizens of the State are neither ghosts nor spirits but human beings living among us. Suffice to say, as occasioned in our soon-to-be showcased success stories, we are resolute that with the reinvigorated security strategies emplaced, which include: Robust Community Policing Strategy, Smart Inter-Agency Collaboration, Visibility Policing, Mass Patrolling Strategy, Technology-Driven Policing Strategy, we have begun to address each of the challenges head-ons. It is therefore the duty of everyone, including parents, community leaders, traditional/ religious leaders, opinion leaders, especially our revered royal fathers and other relevant stakeholders to act well their parts, no matter how negligible as it may seem in the enforcement of laws and prevention of crimes. This way, we shall continue to ensure that Oyo State continues to enjoy the peace and that her residents sleep with their two eyes closed.

1. As proof that our clampdown on these hoodlums and criminal elements has begun to pay off, having fully launched the force intelligence and operational assets available at our disposal we are pleased to render our stewardship by parading some of the perpetrators of the several incidences of crime that has confronted the State. Some of those arrested include perpetrators of the robberies on motorbikes, cult members, and vehicle hijackers. We also recovered stolen vehicles, arms, and ammunition, etc.
2. I would want to use this medium to acknowledge and appreciate the cooperation we are receiving from all sister security agencies, State and non-State actors, and members of the public without which the recent breakthroughs would have been difficult. I wish to unequivocally state that under my watch, we shall continue to work collaboratively to embrace inter-agency collaboration.

9. To our immediate family, the Police Community Relations Committee, I wish to humbly use this medium to reassure you that we shall further consolidate on the existing robust relationship while soliciting your continued collaboration and support.

10. We equally wish to assure members of the press of a convivial Police-Media Relations as we know that you are veritable instruments and primary image builders in contemporary society. We are not unmindful that there might be some misguided elements out there whose focus is on maligning Police image. However, we are resolute that with your collaboration and support, under my watch, Police image would witness a giant leap.

1. I wish to assure the Inspector-General of Police, the government and the good people of this great State that they will not be disappointed. With their support, we shall engender peace and security within and around the Pacesetter State. Penultimately, it is worthy of note that in case of emergency, the Command can always be reached through these emergency control room numbers: 615 (Toll free) (OYO STATE SECURITY TRUST FUND), and Oyo State Police Command emergency lines 07055495413 and 08081768614.
