Ekiti kidnappings: Fayose writes IGP, seeks special intervention

Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has written the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr Solomon Arase, calling for his intervention to stem the spate of kidnappings that has hit the state in the last few weeks.
In the letter dated May 15, 2015 and personally signed by the
governor, he said the IGP’s special intervention would help in removing the fear the people of the state are experiencing, following cases of abductions of innocent people.
In a statement in Ado-Ekiti on Friday by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, the governor also allayed the fear of the people, saying the situation would soon be put under control.
The letter, which was sent to be delivered by road to the IGP in Abuja, was also copied other security chiefs.
“It is with great concern that I am appealing to you to help in our
quest for a lasting solution to the spate of kidnappings and
abductions in our dear state. The development has created fear in the
minds of our people and no meaningful development can take place under
such atmosphere.
“As a responsible government, we are taking all necessary steps to curtail and put an end to these dastardly acts, and we believe a special attention from your office on the matter to our state would no doubt, lead to finding a quick solution to the problem,” the letter read in part.
