Alaro needs a police post

I wish to use this medium to reach the Oyo State government and the Federal Government of Nigeria in relation to the condition of my community, Alaro, Ibadan.

We are faced with serious security issues in this area. Although the landlords association of the area led by the chairman, Mr Waidi Olasunkanmi, in collaboration with other landlords and landladies is trying to ensure the area is safe and peaceful, some troublemakers have continued to terrorise the area.

I plead with the government to please give us a police station in order to secure the community now and in the future. The police station will be a deterrent to trouble makers within and outside the community.

Kehinde Awodiya,

Ibadan.
