Traditional worshippers under the umbrella of Ondo State Assembly of Traditional Religion Worshippers on Tuesday vowed to work with the state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, tocurb the activities of criminal herdsmen in the state and the South West region. Speaking at a press briefing in Akure, coordinator of the traditional worshipers, Chief Adewale Oso, called for collaboration with the state government and the security agencies for the purpose of applying workable solutions to the problems of criminal herdsmen. According to him, the group had been quiet as the government never invited them to help find solution to activities of criminal herdsmen in the state. If some people are killing and hiding when authorities do the right thing, in the traditional way, they would be exposed. As the February retirement date of the incumbent Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu draws near, there are varying permutations on who steps in as the new police boss.
