Adelodun Urges NSA Ribadu to Rescue Kwara from Imminent Decline

A concerned Academician from Kwara State, Prince Adelodun has written an open letter to the National Security Adviser (NSA,) Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, seeking his urgent attention and intervention in the ravaging insecurity presently consuming the south and norther senatorial districts of the state.

In his letter titled: Request for urgent security intervention in Kwara State, Adelodun said: "in recent days, we have been thrown into mourning over the tragic killing of 15 people in Oke-Ode, Ifelodun Local Government.

"Barely two days after this incident, a police officer was abducted at Lade town in Patigi Local Government Area. These heartbreaking developments are part of a recurring pattern of bandit attacks, kidnappings, and violence that have rendered Kwara South and parts of Kwara North unsafe for residents.

"These killings and kidnappings have been going on in Kwara South especially for more than a year now, but they have hardly been reported. Sadly, the silence has been partly because the affected areas belong largely to one section of the state, not the Central, hence little attention has been given to the plight of our people.

completely deserted before decisive action is taken.

"We, therefore, humbly appeal to your office to deploy all necessary security resources and establish a well-coordinated security outfit that can restore peace, protect lives, and prevent further tragedies in Kwara State.

"As a concerned representative of my people, I cannot sleep when my people have no peace. Their sleeplessness has become my sleeplessness.

"I therefore implore you, in the interest of national stability and in line with the president’s commitment to security, to treat this matter with the urgency it deserves.

"We believe that a swift and robust intervention by your office will not only save lives but also reassure our people that the Federal Government stands firmly with them in this time of distress," he implored.
