Ogundana said: “Government would not fold its arms and allow these miscreants to be operating in Ekiti. We have to bring out the security agencies to go round the town and identify some criminal hideouts to flush out the criminals in the state.
“We need the support of everybody because security is the responsibility of everybody.
“When you see something, you say something, don’t see something and decide to keep quiet.”
