365news gathered that The Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the state Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Oyo State, Adebowale Williams, has been instructed to launch extensive investigations into the allegedly destroyed party billboards in several areas of the state.
SP Adewale Osifeso, the command’s police public relations officer, announced this in a statement on Monday.
The police commissioner had just reaffirmed the command’s commitment to doing everything possible to maintain the state’s current level of relative peace and tranquility.
CP Williams also warned political bigwigs and other stakeholders to put a leash on their overzealous loyalists and supporters “who are driven by the ideologies of enforcing dominance and territorialism through needless aggression and violence.”
Appealing to parents, guardians and leaders to prevail on their wards against being used as canon fodders and destructive tools, the police boss said that anyone caught disturbing the peace in the state or inciting violence through deeds or otherwise, would be dealt with in accordance with extant laws and statutes of the federation.
He enjoined the state residents to give the police credible and timely information capable of nipping crime in the bud, with the assurance of treating such with the utmost discretion.
