The Ogun state police command has observed with great concern that, despite series of warnings and security tips from the Command, some members of the public are still in the habit of organizing prayer sessions in the forest, thereby making themselves easy prey for kidnappers.
In as much as the command is not oblivious of the right to freedom of religion, it is worthy of note that the present security situation in the country does not favorably dispose to organizing prayer sessions in isolated places.
The command is working assiduously to get rid of the criminal elements who have taken kidnapping as business, and pending when they will be satisfactorily eliminated, the general public should desist from creating opportunities for them to operate.
Security should be everybody’s business and we should all play our part in securing ourselves and our property. After all, the scripture even enjoined us to watch and pray.

However, if there is any compelling reason to embark on such prayer sessions, the organizers should report to the nearest police station for advice and possible security patrol of the area.
