The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdurrosheed Adewale Akanbi Telu 1 has appealed to the Nigerian Police Force to resume full operation nationwide.

He said the impasse created by the EndSARS protest has lessened the effectiveness of the Nigerian Police.

Oluwo made the call in his palace on Friday while receiving the newly deployed Commissioner of Police for Osun State, CP Olawale Olokode.

He stated the police force cannot be cowed to prevent anarchy. He attributed the proliferation of crime rates such as banditry, kidnapping, and ritual killings to the impasse of theEndSARS protests that recently engulfed the nation.

Oluwo, while appreciating the Nigerian Police Force for their tenacity despite the nationwide protests, tasked the federal government to ensure more funding.

He enjoined Nigerians to motivate the Nigerian Police Force through support and cooperation to curb crimes and crime rates in Nigeria.
