Oba (Dr.) Hammed Adekunle Oyelude Makama, the Olowu of Kuta Kingdom, called on AIG Bassey S. Ewah, the newly deployed Assistant Inspector-General of Police for Zone 11, to rebuild public confidence in the police and enhance security collaboration across Osun and Oyo States.

This appeal was made during a meeting at the Oba's palace in Kuta, Osun State, where they discussed security, community policing, and peaceful coexistence. Oba Makama praised Ewah's experience and urged him to maintain integrity in his new role.

He emphasized the importance of accessible policing and the need for effective information-sharing between security agencies and communities, especially with upcoming elections. Ewah responded by assuring the public of an open-door policy and the importance of constructive criticism.

He encouraged police commissioners in both states to foster communication with residents and treat public information seriously, highlighting the necessity of strong partnerships between the police and the community for effective policing.
