Violent Crimes-The Role of the State Actors

Terrorism is one of the products of lack of parental care for young people.

Human decimation is evil and the outcome of depraved minds in leadership positions.

However, the government at all levels do not respect human lives. 

They forcefully take from the poor to enrich themselves and their cronies.

Already, the socialization process is broken down.

Violent crimes still persist in every part of Nigeria, this is very disturbing, unfortunate, pitiable and a very sad commentary. 

It may be very surprising for any right-thinking citizen to absolve politically exposed persons in government, government officials and criminal elements in uniforms of the persistent violent crimes.

The primary duty of those in uniforms is the protection of lives and property.

Sadly, this is not the case in Oyo state.

In Olorunsogo, Molete, Ibadan, Oyo state, cultists whose hideout still remains at No. 8 Kehinde Aderibigbe street, Oyo state led by one Imole Adewale, a student at Ibadan Grammar School and sponsored by some dropouts including one Lekan Adewale and Segun Adewale, who for several years have been terrorizing residents of the ancient city, Sunday 8th February 2026, broke into a building, No. 3 of the same street and made away with valuables running into millions of Naira.

On Monday, 16th February, 2026 at about 8.15 pm in the night, the criminals struck again, attacking and robbing at gun point, an innocent citizen of his valuables and personal belongings.

The scene of the incident was in front of their hideout, a bungalow, 8 Kehinde Aderibigbe street, Olorunsogo, Molete, Ibadan, Oyo state.

 Another set of cutlists led by one Akerle, who operate from a shopping complex in the community, Amoke Mall; are boastful that they are untouchable.

It is quite disturbing that government officials are deeply involved in the illegal and  fraudulent sale of houses, while co-opting the criminals to forcefully evict the rightful owners of such buildings.

An unspecified number of innocent citizens have been killed by these criminals, who freely move around in public, in the company of law enforcement agents and governemtn officials

It is now obvious that the major legacy the leadership at all levels of government will leave behind revolves around:

1)Iliteracy 2) Lawlessness 3) Indiscipline 4) Criminality 5) Immorality 6) 7) Evil

Indeed, the cultists were able to operate for two hours unhindered with the covert support of residents.

The heavy presence of strangers under the guise of makeshift iron sheets, containers and wooden shop owners in most communities in the ancient city has exposed the criminal mindset of the leadership.

Expectedly, happenings in various parts of the city are no longer surprising to citizens, as visible reasons abound everywhere an individual visits.

Sadly, several young people have been co-opted into the vicious cycle of heinous and grievous crimes.

Those-in Charge at all levels of government look on helplessly as the people contend with the hazards of a dirty environment.

The relevant law enforcement agencies are well aware of the reign of crime and criminality at Molusi, Solanke, Oyegbami, Olorunsogo, Molete, Oshodi, Aluko, Scout camp, Felele and several other communities in Ibadan, Oyo state.

But probably due to the involvement of some of the government officials and law enforcement agents with the cultists who perpetrate heinous and grievous crimes, little or nothing has been done to reverse the worrisome situation. 

This is even as there as several unreported heart rendering cases.

 Since the law enforcement agencies have the responsibility to ensure the safety of lives and property, the unending reign of terror by these cultists, who openly threaten to kill those who question their activities leaves much to be desired- a point of reference is one ‘Samba', a barber, whose barbing shop is among the block of shops located in front of a building at the Aluko/Barracks, Felele/Scout camp/Oshodi Street junction. 

He openly threatens to kill people while at the same time boasting of his connection with some officers and rank and file of the Police.

Indeed, owners of beer parlors, Ogogoro joints, hotels, and a sizable number of shops in these communities are ready accomplices of these cultists.

Indeed, if at all there is a government in place in the state, such is crime friendly.
