Since last months, residents around University of Ibadan, Agbowo and its environs have been witnessing incessant robbery without no culprit held to justice.
The proliferation of small arms and ammunition has been the order of the day within the state, from the increase in the thuggery rate within the state, residents could no longer feel safe and secure as the Government is failing in performing it’s major Constitutional duities.
Makinde’s predecessor, Late Abiola Ajimobi invested a lot in the security of lives and properties within Ibadan and its metropolis, but, these systems are crumbling while the Governor who is the Chief Security Officer of the state folds his arms.
