Briefing the newsmen, the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, in the state, Mr. Olawale Osifeso said the show of force was ongoing in all the ten area commands of Oyo state. 

Mr. Osifeso said the team and convoy patrols became imperative to enforce and stand authority of the Command as the lead agency in providing security. 

He stated further that the show of force was also for protection in public places, recreation facilities, and other public infrastructure, especially during the Democracy Day celebration. 

The police spokesperson, therefore, warned persons who might want to cause trouble in the state to have a change of mind or face the consequences of their illegal actions.

 Mr. Osifeso added that members of the public should not relent in providing credible and reliable information to the Police in order to collectively achieve a crime-free state.
