Ondo State Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has promised to give N50,000 as reward to anyone who provides information that can lead to the arrest of kidnappers and other criminals.
The Governor spoke on Thursday through the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mrs. Bamidele Ademola-Olateju, after the weekly State Executive Council.
He said the move was aimed at encouraging people to give useful and timely information about criminal activities in any part of the state.
“From now on, anyone who reports a crime and we follow the trail, and it leads to a successful prosecution of the criminal, that person will be offered a reward of N50,000.
“We want people to say something when they see something. We want our people to be proactive in the area of security, to rid Ondo State of bandits, terrorists and other criminals.
“The Toll Free line is 0800-555-5555. Anybody can call to give security tips and report any criminal activities in his or her area,” Akeredolu said.
He said government would protect anybody who reports or gives useful information about criminal activities in his area.
