The Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) in charge of Southwest Zone, Mr Foluso Adebanjo, has rated Ekiti as having the lowest crime rate in the country.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the DIG spoke in Ado Ekiti on Thursday during a working visit.

“The crime rate in Ekiti is very low, in fact, the lowest in the country. The police anywhere in the world can’t do it alone without the cooperation and consent of the people.

“You need to work with critical stakeholders to achieve a crime-free society

“The Inspector General of Police, Mr Ibrahim Idris, is committed to the task of giving our men incentives.

“Before now, Inspectors used to spend over 14 years before becoming Superintendent of Police, but such has been corrected.

“Apart from promotion, we are working on the housing scheme for our men to be able to own a house after retirement.

“We are also improving on the medicals so that our men who sustained injuries in the course of performing their tasks can get the best treatment and many other incentives.

“Let us do this job conscientiously. Don’t be labelled corrupt officers, this is not good for the image of the force locally and globally.

“Do this job very well and you will not regret it because you are doing God’s job and your reward shall surely come,’’ he said.

Adebanjo added that the proposal for the recruitment of 30,000 policemen annually would take care of the shortfall in the personnel in some states, including Ekiti.

“As we speak now, 10,000 people are undergoing training and the proposal is that 30,000 will be trained yearly for the next 10 years.

So, we have a work plan and we must not allow a few criminals to destroy the beautiful name and respect Nigeria commands globally,’’ he said.

Earlier in his address of welcome, the state Commissioner of Police, Alhaji Abdulahi Chafe, said the command would continue to ensure synergy with other sister agencies to make Ekiti crime-free.

Rugged fayose.. Ekiti is full of learned ppl. Heard it has the highest number of profs.

Sure!

That's absolutely correct. . I served ekiti, aramoko town to be precise, and as a corper I was amazed at the harmless youth in the town,.. even when you walk around the town at 12 midnight, it's like everyone is scared of you. . But on the other hand, it a fetish town,

Congratulations to Governor Fayose, the new and authentic leader of yorubas worldwide.

This list is not accurate

Ogun state is the only peaceful place on earth

Cool

Peaceful physically but trouble spiritually.

But almost everything i read is about how police life go better and co.... Well am IPOB and this is afonja land.

Its their affair!

Fayo

I served in Ekiti, 2012. I ran away because of the cultists. Ori Apata on Adebayo Road, Ado Ekiti, they visited like every other week to rob and rape. It was a horrible experience.

Oh well, things might have changed. As at then, I could confidently say ekiti was the capital of cultism in South Western Nigeria. Kai!!!

Nice! Where is Ilekeh?

Who are we to ask

Do you expect a yoroobber man to label an Igbo state as one with less crime rate?

They're always known to their own. Nonsense people. Ofe mmanu

He's kidding for sure.. Wat of dat tout of a Governor??

The police are the biggest criminals in Nigeria

Oshokomole 1 is keeping them busy and productive.

How does that translate into them being full of learned people?

A plus for the state.

thats very true

What is there to steal in a state that is not developing and they line up for rice? Is it not the same ekiti that they rob banks anyhow?

But his own people won't like this eeya! E kpele oh!

Nice one there

I opened the thread with the expectations of seeing Rivers State after all I've not heard or read about killing in the past 10 minutes so the State is now peaceful. (8
