Adam’s statement comes on the heels of the recent abduction of Goriola Oseni, the traditional ruler of Iba town in Iba local council development area of Lagos state, and other malicious acts allegedly committed in parts of Lagos and Ogun states by militants.
The OPC leader condemned the kidnap of the monarch, even as he noted that the militants have killed a number of persons in Ikorodu area.
He said: “I condemn the kidnapping of a traditional ruler (Oba) and others in Lagos. I also condemn the killings in some parts of the state in recent time.
“Vandals have killed a number of persons in Ikorodu area. They are involved in pipeline vandalism before now; they are involved in ritual killings.
“We, OPC, are ready to help the government in providing security if we are invited. We participated in providing security before, but the police took us as criminals.
“We do not want people to misunderstand us again; hence we resolved to provide security for only those that request for our services.
“The federal government should not take the security of Lagos state for granted. It is a state housing all ethnic groups and their investments.”
Adams also noted that in spite of OPC’s contributions to security in the south-west, the government or the people had not appreciated its efforts.
According to him, all hands should be on deck if the security situation must be addressed as he said the kidnapping of a monarch is an insult to Lagos and Ogun state governments.
