I think it is high time to stop this unfortunate incident in our community. We are not asking custom men not to do their job but courtesy demand that they should not extend their activities to the street in the community. What happened at Oke Odan yesterday was terrible. I commend the reaction of Hon Abdul Kabir Akinlade and want to urge him not to relent in his effort to ensure that the security operative in the area stop this type of innocent killing.
