Orile is a busy area and highly populated with a lot of miscreants, rapists, hand bag/hand sets snatchers and Indian hemp smokers, among other criminal elements.
“I have invited you here because these criminals are not spirits. They are living with you people, and some of you even know them. That is why I have given out my phone numbers and those of my men for everybody to assist the police to arrest and prosecute the criminals,” he stated.
“That is how we are going to jointly defeat all the criminals in Orile. Just call and tell us about any criminal or criminal behaviour within your neighbourhood and my men will just come like spirits and do the job. In that way, peace will reign in Orile,” he appealed.
