THE Federal Government has approved three new area commands for the Nigeria Police in Oyo State to complement the existing ones and boost security network. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the news area commands are located in Eruwa, Iganna and Saki areas of the state. “Oyo State is one of the most peaceful states in Nigeria today and this is not achieved overnight. Responding, the governor lauded the Federal Government for acceding to the state’s clarion call for the establishment of more police commands in the state. “We should be more grateful to the police authority in Oyo State because, through them, we were able to transform the state from the notorious era of violence to a very peaceful state today,” he said.
