The Olufon of Ifon, Oba Moruf Magbagbeola, has said some policemen in
 his domain are in the habit of divulging privileged information to cult
 groups tormenting residents of the community.He said, “I want complain about the activities of some policemen who 
divulge privileged information given to them by informants. These 
policemen are former cult members when in school and anytime people give
 out information about cultists to them, they would inform  the 
criminals and this is putting the lives of these concerned informants at
 risks.The monarch said this in Osogbo on Monday at a forum organised by the
 Police Community Relations Committee which had the Inspector General of
 Police, Mr. Solomon Arase, the Commissioner of Police in Osun State,  
Mr. Kola Sodipo, and top traditional rulers in the state in attendance.” This happened recently in Sagamu and also in my town. I want you to help us on this.”The monarch appealed to the IG to ensure that the police authorities 
carry out thorough security checks on those to be recruited into the 
police to prevent cultists and their sympathizers from infiltrating the 
police force.The
 monarch also said the vigilante groups had no use, saying many of them 
had been frustrating the efforts of the police and some of them had 
become terrorists in their various communities..The Timi of Ede, Oba Munirudeen Lawal, lauded the administration of 
Governor Rauf Aregbesola, for  supporting the police and other security 
agencies in the state in order to make the state safe.The IGP earlier  disclosed that not fewer than 435 policemen had lost
 their lives in the process of providing security for lives and property
 in the country. The Owa Obokun of Ijesaland, Oba Adekunle Aromolaran, said 
traditional rulers should be more involved in terms of security 
arrangements in their respective domains.Aromolaran said involving traditional rulers  in security would 
complement efforts of security agencies because traditional rulers know 
their subjects and their activities

Robbers Took Over Ife- Ilesa Expressway - Luxurious Bus Drivers Protest

Drivers of luxurious buses early Monday morning blocked the Ife- Ilesa Expressway to protest the robbery incident which they said happened on the road over night.

It was not clear if any life was lost in the accident, but it was gathered that the drivers said the robbers took over the road since last night until early Monday morning.<br />
<br />
 One of the motorists trapped in the traffic congestion caused by the blockage of the road, Sanya, revealed that the protest started around 4am on Monday.

Sanya said the protesting drivers said robbery cases were frequent on the road and vowed not to leave the road until the state governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, came to address them.<br />
<br />
 He said the policemen who arrived at the scene to restore order were chased away by the irate drivers, who demanded to see the commissioner of police.

Sanya said, ” We are close to 1000 vehicles trapped in the traffic snarl now. I have been here for over two hours and there is no exit road to take. We are stuck in the mess.<br />
<br />
 “Many newspapers delivery vans are here before dawn and there is no way anybody can escape except the road is cleared.”

Another motorist, Peter Dada, also told our correspondent that the blockage of the road had frustrated road users caught in the web of the protest.

He called on security agents to increase their presence on the road to prevent robbery cases.<br />
<br />
 The new Commissioner of Police in Osun State, Mr. Kola Sodipo, when contacted on the telephone by our correspondent said he had sent his men to the scene.

Sodipo said, ” I have sent my men there. I learnt that the robbery didn’t happen this morning but it has happened before.”
