The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, has revealed that the existing traditional security structure in the ancient town helped to avert crisis during the #EndSARS protest last October.

The traditional ruler stated this while hosting the new Commissioner of Police in Osun State, Olawale Olokode, at his Ile Oodua Palace, Ile-Ife.

In a statement released on Thursday by the monarch’s Director, Media and Public Affairs, Moses Olafare, Oba Ogunwusi explained that it was easy to manage the crisis that trailed the #EndSARS protests in Ile-Ife because the town already had traditional ways of conflict resolution.

Ogunwusi, who is the co-chairman of the National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria, said policing is everybody’s business.

“Unlike some places where buildings were burnt, properties looted and police structures attacked, we swung into action and our existing traditional security structure supplied necessary intelligence which we used to stop crimes from happening. All these were however done with the knowledge and supports from the Nigeria Police and we are proud.

“Dear Commissioner, I wish to say that God has returned you to this part of the country to continue with the good works you did during your era as the Area Commander in charge of Ife a few years ago. You had our support and I can assure you that you still have it.

“Currently, we are having a pocket of security challenges particularly in the areas of cultism and drug abuse. We need you to help us in this area and others identified by you and I am sure that you have the capacity to perform optimally,” Oba Ogunwusi said.

Earlier, the Commissioner of Police, Olokode, described his return to the state as a stern warning to criminally-minded people.

“If we compare the state with its neighbours, it is relatively the most peaceful although with its challenges. But I wish to tell law-abiding citizens in the state to relax their minds as they embark on their lawful businesses.

“We are equal to the task. We only seek your continuous support, especially in the execution of community policing as directed by the Inspector-General of Police, Muhammed Adamu,” Olokode added.
