He said, “This was to ensure security of lives and property during the period”, adding that his men and other sister agencies will deal decisively with criminal elements in Oyo state.

The State Commandant added that, “The Command ambulance and other patrol team will be along Lagos /Ibadan road, Abeokuta/Ibadan road, Oyo/Ibadan road, Iseyin/Ibadan road, Eruwa/Ibadan road and other local government across the state to ensure prompt attention of his agency anytime a distress call is put through to the control room on 09055533301 and 09055533303.”
