The police in Ondo says it has synergised with Amotekun and other security agencies to provide adequate security for residents during the Easter celebrations.

The Ondo police spokesman, Tee Leo-Ikoro, made the disclosure on Tuesday.

Mr Leo-Ikoro said that the command has dispatched its officers and men to all strategic places, to all the nooks and crannies of the state to ensure adequate security.

The police spokesman warned criminals to steer clear of the state, saying it was not a safe haven for them to perpetrate their heinous crimes.

He also assured residents of the state that adequate security has been put in place for them to enjoy the celebrations.

“We are in synergy with Amotekun and other security agencies in order to ensure tight security in all the nooks and crannies of the state before, during and after the Easter celebrations,” he said.

Mr Leo-Ikoro, however, urged residents of the state to be security conscious at all times and report any strange movement to the police for further action, adding that “security is the business of all.”
