Ondo community leader donates N10m items to security agencies

A community leader in Ondo State, Idowu Asonja, has donated security gadgets worth over N10 million to security agencies in the State.

Asonja, who is the Ondo State Commander of Tantita, the private security outfit saddled with the protection of oil pipelines in the state’s coastal areas, said the gesture was owing to his conviction that security cannot be left completely in the hands of government.

The security expert, in a statement on Monday, October 9, 2023, noted that security situation in the country requires all citizens to play their parts for “a safe Nigeria”.

He, however, commended security agencies in Ondo State for their efforts at maintaining peace in the state, adding that “they need to be encouraged for making Ondo State peaceful and safe”.

Asonja added that part of the items he donated to the security agencies were communication gadgets like walkie talkie as well as solar-powered torchlights.

Calling on prominent Nigerians to support the security agencies in the country, Asonja said he would continue to give back to society, especially the riverine areas of Ondo State.

The community leader said: “Whatever little contribution we make in support of the security agencies is actually for ourselves. We are the ones they are protecting and they deserve our support.

“This is that I have done is just the beginning. By the power of God, I will do more.”
