Robbers Disguised as Passengers Steal Motorcycles and Kill Okada Riders in Osun State
The Osun Police Command has warned commercial motorcyclists to be cautious of criminals posing as passengers to steal their motorcycles. Yemisi Opalola, the command’s spokesperson explains the warning was needed due to the increase of motorcycle cases and to ensure the safety of the state and citizens.
“The police command is using this medium to caution motorcyclists, especially the commercial ones (Okada), to be cautious of passenger(s) they carry or who employ their services.
The modus operandi of the criminals involves hailing commercial motorcyclists and luring them to isolated areas late at night where they are forcefully dispossessed of their motorbikes.
”The unsuspecting riders are often offered enticing fares that they cannot refuse.
“These attacks in some cases have left the motorcyclists severely injured or even killed.” she said.
Opalola said that CP Mohammed Abba has enjoined the leadership of the Okada Riders Association in the state to continually sensitise its members to avoid being victims of this trending crime.
“The command also advises them to report any suspicious passenger(s) and their activities to the nearest police station.” she added.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
