As the festive season approaches, OPC (reformed) leader, Ambassador Dare Adesope has called on members of the Oodua People’s Congress and the general public to remain vigilant and prioritize safety during the yuletide period.
In a statement released on Friday, Adesope emphasized the need for heightened awareness and community cooperation, especially in the face of rising cases of insecurity across the country.
"This season is a time of joy, but also a time when criminal elements seek to take advantage of public celebrations. We must not let down our guard," he warned.
He urged OPC members to work closely with local authorities, vigilantes, and traditional rulers to monitor movements within their communities and report suspicious activities promptly.
Adesope also appealed to citizens to avoid night travels, secure their homes, and ensure children are properly guided during public events and gatherings.
"Let us celebrate with caution, remembering that security starts with each one of us. Together, we can have a peaceful and joyous season," he added.
The OPC leader further encouraged government agencies to intensify patrols and intelligence efforts to safeguard lives and property during the festive period.
