The Osun State chapter of the Nigeria Hunters and Forest Security Service has assured Osun State government under the administration of Senator Ademola Adeleke of its readiness to intensify efforts in curbing criminal activities in the state forest.
In a statement signed by the State Chairman of the group, Ahmed Nureni and made available to Journalists in Osogbo on Tuesday, he said once the Governor is ready to work with them, they will do everything possible to secure the forests.
Felicitating with the Governor on his 63rd birthday, Nureni maintained that with government support, criminals planning to move into Osun forests from neighbouring states will be restricted.
He added that measures have been put in place to fish out criminals residing in Osun forests, saying members of the group only need government support and motivation to continue their work.
“We want to congratulate the Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke on the occasion of his 63rd birthday. We wish him more of it.
“As a group saddled with the security of our forest, we are ready to work together with the incumbent administration and continue the good work.
“With the support of the government, we are very sure of ending all criminal activities in our forest and make sure criminal elements from neighbouring states do not enter our forest,” he concluded.
