Give maximum respect to police, security agents Ooni charges Nigerians
The Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has called on Nigerians to accord utmost respect to the Nigerian security forces, especially the police.
He also warned citizens to desist from any act that could lead to war in Nigeria, cautioning that there is no gain in warfare.
The traditional ruler made the remarks while playing host to Olasupo Ajani, the newly posted Assistant Inspector -General of Police in charge of Zone 11, Osogbo, in his palace on Monday in Ile-Ife.
Mr Ogunwusi said rather than calling for war, Nigerians should join hands to build a better nation where there would be abundance of peace and job opportunities for the youths.
The Ooni commended the AIG for his commitment and loyalty to the progress and peace of the country.
Earlier, the AIG also commended Ooni for his spirit of patriotism and love.
Mr Ajani, who said he had once served in Ile-Ife, revealed that he was familiar with the terrains in the state.
He appealed to residents of the state to continue to support the police for a crime-free society.
