Afenifere, a pan-Yoruba socio-cultural group, commends Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, along with the Commissioners of Police in both states. The group praises what it describes as decisive actions against the threats of kidnapping and banditry, particularly along the Sagamu–Ogbere/Ogbere–Sagamu Road corridor in Ogun State (described across reports as the Sagamu–Ore area corridor). Reports also cite an “Operation Kosaye,” referenced by Vanguard, as part of the security efforts the group supports.
Afenifere’s statements characterize the governors’ political commitment and coordination with security agencies as creating an enabling environment for police and other authorities to carry out their constitutional responsibilities. While the outlets emphasize different elements—such as the specific operation name in Vanguard and the inclusion of the IGP and CPs in all accounts—they converge on the same point: the group publicly praises coordinated measures by state leadership and the police to curb kidnapping and banditry in the affected routes.
