The Owa of Ilogbo-Ekiti, Oba (Dr) Edward Ajayi has commended the south West governors on establishment of the new security outfit in the region, "Operation Amotekun" ,saying they took right action at the right time.

He made an appeal to the state government to the state government to remember Ilogbo-Ekiti with more dividends of democracy.


In his remarks, the District Coordination Council, Ilogbo-Ekiti,  Pastor Julius Abiona charged Ekiti monarchs and Nigerians to speak in one voice and  pray fervently against insecurity in the country.


The clergy man condemned the killings of chairman of the  Christian Association of Nigeria in Michika Local Government Area of Adamawa State and that of the trado medical expert (Oko Oloyun) who was murdered by unknown gunmen.


He added that everybody is now afraid of Fulani herders, saying Nigeria is no more a country where security of lives and property are guaranteed.
