“Mrs Onadeko was posted to Oyo State at a critical time but she did everything possible to tackle the situation. When she came, we had the Amotekun security Corps, but the relationship between the Corps and the Police was not smooth. She went into action immediately and today the situation has changed, the two are now enjoying superb working relationship.”
