I have an unpopular opinion that Gumi definitely has no ties to bandits or banditry. Neither does he sympathize with them. If you listen carefully to his actual words, it concludes with emphasis on protecting lives. This is a former soldier turned cleric, what is he to gain through insecurity. His tone may be off at times, but that’s a different conversation.

Shey you don go back to your Ex ni. Better call Oriyomi 😂




Mogaji ofo Blocked that idiot long ago




Oriyomi Hamzat has been using Ododo de slogan for his campaign only to go and run a parallel primary and declare himself the winner of the Oyo state Accord party governorship primary without announcing any votes result. How can they declare you as primary winner and present you certificate of return one minutes after declaration. Is that not theatre? No wonder my guy is a presenter, action por bi ti ogogo.

Alhaji Oriyomi Hamzat has been declared the Gubernatorial Flagbearer of ACCORD in Oyo State.

Nobody said Operation Burst does not exist on paper. The argument is about effectiveness and visible impact. Posting pictures of vehicles and meetings every few years is different from residents constantly feeling the presence of security on the streets like we experienced during Ajimobi era. Back then, Operation Burst was feared by criminals and visible across Ibadan and other parts of Oyo State daily. Today, despite all these photo ops and “handover ceremonies,” kidnapping and insecurity have increased badly in many areas. So the real question is simple, if coordination and funding are working perfectly as claimed, why do citizens feel less secure now than before?




This excuse doesn’t hold water. We all lived in Oyo State during Ajimobi era and we saw how visible and active Operation Burst was. Patrol vehicles were everywhere, rapid response was stronger, and criminals knew security presence was real. Nobody is denying the need for state police, but saying Operation Burst is functioning the same way today is simply not true. Leadership, coordination, funding, and seriousness matter too not just personnel numbers. If a joint security outfit could create visible impact before, why has insecurity and kidnapping become more rampant now?





Operation burst is just an acronym of joint security of police, Civil defence and military. Operation burst has always been operating, it never stopped functioning, the problem trickles beyond that, the issue we have with adequate security is number of personnel which is a problem of the stretched police, civil defense and military. The states cannot employ police, military or civil defence, they can only keep providing logistics support like they already have. The solution is state police, join the petition now. x.com/therealfadaca/…

PETITION FOR ACCELERATED ESTABLISHMENT OF STATE POLICE : READ, SIGN AND SHARE Addressed to: Senator Godswill Akpabio, President of the Senate, Federal Republic of Nigeria PREAMBLE We, the undersigned citizens and residents of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, address this urgent petition to the Honourable Senator Godswill Akpabio, the President of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and through him, to all 109 members of the Senate of the 10th National Assembly. We write not as antagonists of governance but as patriots who love this nation and who can no longer watch in silence as our fellow Nigerians are killed, kidnapped, and terrorized with impunity while the centralized federal police structure remains constitutionally paralyzed in its response. This petition calls on the Senate to fulfill its constitutional duty, act on its own repeated promises, and complete the amendment of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to establish state police within one (1) calendar month from the date of publication of this petition. PART I: THE SECURITY CRISIS THAT DEMANDS IMMEDIATE ACTION Nigeria is bleeding. The statistics are not abstractions; they are the names of mothers, fathers, schoolchildren, and farmers whose lives have been stolen by criminal and insurgent violence that the current federal policing model has been unable to contain. The data speaks with devastating clarity: - During the first half of 2025 alone, at least 2,266 Nigerians were killed by bandits and insurgents, a figure that already exceeded the total number of similar deaths recorded throughout the entire year of 2024. - Between July 2024 and June 2025, SBM Intelligence recorded 4,722 Nigerians kidnapped across 997 separate incidents, with at least 762 persons killed in those same incidents. Abductors demanded as much as ₦48 billion in ransoms, with at least ₦2.57 billion actually paid. - The National Human Rights Commission documented 3,012 kidnappings and 3,584 killings between January 2024 and April 2025, roughly ten deaths per day. - Nigeria is ranked 8th globally on the kidnapping index, emerging as one of the worst kidnapping hotspots in the world. - Conservative estimates attribute more than 8,300 deaths to banditry between 2013 and 2022 in the Northwest alone. That number has continued to rise. Banditry has now killed more than 12,000 Nigerians in that region. - In the first quarter of 2025, 1,420 Nigerians were killed and 537 kidnapped, with 475 insecurity incidents in just three months. - In Benue State, a single overnight attack on a village in 2025 claimed the lives of approximately 150 residents. Over 300 people were killed in Plateau and Benue states between April and June 2025 alone. - Despite these losses, the federal government allocated ₦6.11 trillion to security and defense in the 2025 budget, roughly 11% of the total national budget, and yet killings and abductions continue to rise. From Boko Haram and ISWAP in the North-East to armed bandits in the North-West; farmer-herder clashes in the Middle Belt, IPOB militancy in the South-East, cult killings in the South-South, and kidnappers terrorizing highways in the South-West. Nigeria simultaneously faces multiple, complex, and localized security crises that a single, centralized police force stationed at Abuja cannot adequately address.

The rising cases of insecurity and kidnapping in parts of Ibadan and Ogbomoso are becoming a serious concern to residents. This is the time for Governor @seyimakinde to fully revive and properly fund Operation Burst to strengthen local security and support other security agencies. Operation Burst once played a major role in maintaining peace across the state. With the current realities, me personally believe restoring it to full operational capacity will help improve safety and reassure citizens.


ADDRESSING HOW SECURITY VOTES AND “CSO” TITLE WILL NOT TRANSLATE TO RESULTS, WE NEED STATE-CONTROLLED POLICE NOW! It is not about prosecution, fletcher. You will only prosecute someone you have arrested. It is really about the enforcement power of the state, there is a general state of lawlessness because our enforcement is poor as a country. Security is local both in response and in surveillance. The state can be blamed for surveillance because they have the level of control to curb that. But they do not have the power of response, the police and the military that have that power don’t take orders from the governors. You will see for example, Governor Makinde has been talking about the issue of bandits in Oyo state since January which is the surveillance results. But the only security unit in their control (Amotekun) does not have that power of response. They have the power of surveillance which has done its part. 1. With state police, we can have a stronger response unit that is local to each state. 2. If the present local structures that are doing the surveillance are going to be used, then they need to be permitted to bear arms. The highest result of security votes will be them buying more cars for police, buying radios, building stations, like the governors have been doing. For example, Oyo has bought over 400 security vehicles, they have a toll-free line, they have radios and everything Again, sign the petition for the state police below. c.org/cbVytTBfwJ
