The Olofa of Offa, Oba Muftau Gbadamosi, has called for the deployment of more police personnel in Offa to strengthen security in the town.<\/p>\n
Gbadamosi made the appeal while receiving the Commissioner of Police in Kwara, Mr Aminu Saleh, during his courtesy visit to the palace on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the commissioner was at the Olofa\u2019s palace as part of his tour of the Area Commander in Offa.<\/p>\n

\nThe Olofa said the police personnel in Offa were not enough to protect the ever-increasing population in the town.<\/p>\n
\u201cOffa is expanding everyday with different people from all parts of the world coming to settle down for business as well as education.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need more officers and men of the police to maintain peace. You can\u2019t compare Offa of ten years ago to the Offa of today. The population is growing faster.<\/p>\n
\u201cPost your men here, we will give them accommodation in comfortable apartments,\u201d he appealed to the Commissioner.<\/p>\n
Gbadamosi said the community had built 50 units of 2-bedroom flats in response to the Bank robbery incident of April 5.<\/p>\n
He added that a Guard house, Quarter guard and Armory were under construction and expected to be completed as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope to commence the building of Administrative block after Sallah celebration,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
According to the monarch, all these facilities are for the policemen posted to Offa.<\/p>\n
He also urged the commissioner to use his office to invite the Inspector-General of Police to commission the projects after their completion.<\/p>\n
The commissioner assured the monarch of proper security measures for Offa and neighboring towns.<\/p>\n
He described security as everybody\u2019s business that should not be left for police alone, calling on the community to join hands with the Police to secure lives and property.<\/p>\n
He also advised the youths not to allow themselves to be used as thugs during the 2019 general elections in the state.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou should refrain from any form of crime during the elections. Make positive impact and build your future, \u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Saleh urged the Olofa to set up a team that would sensitise the youths to stay away from violence.<\/p>\n
