*How we curb the activities of the herdsmen in Ogun*
In Ogun State we have been living together with the herdsmen over the years as far as 20 years, hitherto unattractive news coming to our disposal is that some of the rearers are possessing live arms and ammunition and those who engage with these are mostly strangers and foreign herders and not the resident of Ogun State. We summoned a meeting of all the tribes to detail their members by giving them forms as registration to easily get rid of the harmful herdsmen.
Recently ,some suspected herdsmen were chased from opeji around alabata to Oyo state while we informed Ibadan COMMAND of the Vigilante Service to take note of those who were chased out, to avoid any forms of casualties.
*How I Unwind As a Vigilante service commander*
I have no unwinding time, as a service man except on Sunday's I take my family out or have get together with my uncles at the club and I return home as early as 9pm.
And I take my family out for fun at times on sundays to make them feel my presence.
Deji Gonzalo, who charged the good people of Ogun state to support the command in getting adequate securities,"I mean all security agencies not only the vigilante service but other agencies too". "I am not in support of any politician to make use of the hooligans in front lining their campaigning team but approach the private registered security agencies instead of transformation of the youths of tomorrow into thugs and killers in a broad daylight".
