Ekiti Traditional Rulers Demand Stronger Anti-Kidnap Laws
During a meeting on Saturday, traditional rulers from Ekiti State, chaired by Oba Adejimi Adu Alagbado, urged the First Lady of Nigeria, Ladi Oluremi Tinubu, to advocate for stronger anti-kidnap laws. They called on President Bola Tinubu to expedite the creation of a state police force to enhance security measures and effectively address criminal activities, particularly kidnapping.
Oba Adu Alagbado expressed concern about the persistent cases of kidnapping and the need for severe penalties for those involved in such crimes. In response, Senator Ladi Oluremi Tinubu assured that the Nigerian presidency is committed to improving security through stronger international measures and partnerships to combat terrorism, banditry, and kidnapping.
She also mentioned ongoing initiatives, including the construction of an ICT center at Ekiti State University and a N200 million scholarship program for students, alongside financial support for 2,000 traders in the state.
