The organization extended its appreciation to the Inspector-General of Police Olatunji Disu and state police commissioners Bode Ojajuni and Tijani Olaiwola Fatai for their synchronized strategy in securing the Ogbere-Sagamu-Ore route.
In a formal communication authored by National Organising Secretary Abagun Kole Omololu on behalf of leader Reuben Famuyide Fasoranti, the group highlighted the value of the Inspector-General’s intelligence-led policing.
