Hon. Taofeek Abimbola Ajilesoro, MHR

The lawmaker representing Ife Federal Constituency, Honourable Taofeek Abimbola Ajilesoro has commiserated with the families of the victims of the gruesome killings of Worshippers at the St. Francis Catholic Church, Owa-luwa, Owo, Ondo state on Sunday.

Honourable Ajilesoro in a condolence message noted that human beings do not deserve to die in such a cruel manner, adding that the country is gradually being turned into a failed state by the acts of the enemies of peace.

The lawmaker further blamed the increasing rate of insecurity in the parts of the country on the failure of the government to do enough to protect Nigerians.

He advised for a need for immediate activation of the State Police, towards ensuring the security of lives and properties of all citizens.

"We at the National Assembly are ready to provide a necessary legal framework to ensure the establishment and smooth running of State Police across Nigeria. The over-centralization of the Nigerian security architecture has done us more harm than good.

"I urge Nigerians to be security conscious and report all suspicious persons and moves to security authorities. We must police our environment by being vigilant and calling for help where necessary." he stated.
