Osogbo – Gov. Rauf Aregbesola of Osun says those responsible for the killing of policemen in bank robberies in Iwo town on Tuesday will not escape justice.

The governor, in a statement by Mr Semiu Okanlawon, his media aide on Wednesday in Osogbo described the incident as unfortunate.

He said he had been assured by security operatives that they were on the trail of the robbers.

According to him, government and the security forces will not abandon their responsibility of protecting the people just because of few criminals.

The governor promised that the long arm of the law would soon catch up with all those who committed the heinous act.

He commiserated with the State Commissioner of Police for the loss of his gallant officers in the service to their fatherland during the incident.

“We use this opportunity to assure the people of Osun of their safety.

“We invested in security of lives and property as part of our overall objectives of maintaining a peaceful state, to be a source of attraction for investments.

“This is why our state has been rated many times as one of the states with the lowest cases of crime throughout Nigeria.

“We are determined to do everything to sustain this rating.

” Our citizens are therefore urged to be vigilant; report any suspicious movement and activity to the law enforcement agencies.”

The armed robbers on Tuesday killed four policemen in multiple bank robberies in Iwo town.

The attacks, which were targeted at three banks on Bowen University Road, Iwo, were carried out in the afternoon.

Confirming the attacks, the police spokesperson, Mr. Folashade Odoro, said four policemen lost their lives in the incident.

http://ift.tt/2qOj9er As a viable human enterprise, literature has, from time immemorial, derived its engaging and revealing contents from the inexhaustible vortex of human chequered happenings and happenstances. In other words, if we humour the cerebrally feisty Kenyan novelist of consequential renown, Ngugi wa Thiong’o, we may not hum and haw in accepting his well-thought-out view that literature is not a product of vacuum … The variegated events in human communities and societies have thus far formed the very materials with which writers, be they poets, novelists, or playwrights, convene the banquets at which their own imaginative outputs blend beautifully and seamlessly with the remarkable occurrences in human societies. Thus, for any educable mind desirous of knowing what the ancient Greek society’s culture and traditional religion were, they have the imperishable works of Homer, Sophocles, Euripides, amongst a hosts of others, to pore over. Shall we forget the ever green play...
