Enquire of the Lord

Procrastination takes a better part of us during crucial moments. For us to overcome this, we should pray openly to God about the issue at stake, evaluate and assess the pros and cons of each option and draw out questions revolving around biblical principles. However, if you are under pressure for a decision to be made, pray to God to guide you not to take any action in error. Thereafter, make your decision and have the confidence that God is working out His will in your life. Depend upon the Lord in decision making. He will incline your heart and mind to choose His course for you.   Read 1 Samuel 23:1-5 Criminality- The grooming of Young People Most communities in Oyo state among other states in Nigeria have been overwhelmed by criminals, a significant number of whom are residents. These criminals take time to observe happenings in these communities from shops, beer parlors, hotels, and abandoned buildings in these communities after which they facilitate heinous and grievous crime...

The Reign of Criminality and Impunity in Ibadan Communities


TOP 25 CRIME RATES QUOTES (of 52) | A-Z Quotes

The relevant law enforcement agencies are well aware of the reign of crime and criminality at Molusi, Solanke, Oyegbami, Olorunsogo, Molete, Oshodi, Aluko, Scout camp, Felele and several other communities in Ibadan, Oyo state. 

But probably due to the involvement of some of the law enforcement agents with the cultists who perpetrate heinous and grievous crimes, little or nothing has been done to reverse the worrisome situation. 

Of worry, is the activities of young boys between the ages of 7 to 18 years old, who converge at a green building just after Femola bus-stop, Olorunsogo, Molete. These boys dispossess passerby of their valuables daily, along the path to city link hotel in the community.

This is with the knowledge of the adults in the community.

This is even if there are several unreported heart rendering cases.

 Since the law enforcement agencies have the responsibility to ensure the safety of lives and property, the unending reign of terror by these cultists, who openly threaten to kill those who question their activities, leaves much to be desired-a point of reference is one 'Samba', a barber, whose barbing shop is among the block of shops located in front of a building at the Aluko/Barracks, Felele/Scout camp/Oshodi Street junction. 

He openly threatens to kill people while at the same time boasting of his connection with some officers and the rank and file of the Police. 

Opposition to their activities is met with attacks and threats by the hoodlums,''Go and call your police.''

Indeed, owners of beer parlors, Ogogoro joints, hotels, and a sizable number of shops in these communities are ready accomplices of these cultists in these communities.
