Ademola-Olateju, while briefing journalists after the weekly State Executive Council meeting said the moves were aimed at encouraging citizens to give useful and timely information about criminal activities in any part of the state.

“From now on, anyone who reports a crime and we follow the trail, and it leads to a successful prosecution of the criminal, that person will be offered a reward of N50,000.

“We want people in Ondo state to say something when they see something. We want our people to be proactive in the area of security to rid Ondo State of criminals, bandits and terrorists.

“The Toll-Free line is 0800-555-5555. Anybody can call to give security tips and report any criminal activities in his or her area.”
