Nigeria media practitioners, especially the Crime Reporters have been tasked to collaborate with law enforcement agencies and individuals in the task of riding the country of criminal elements.
The Olowu Kuta of Kuta, Osun State, HRH Oba Dr Hammed Adekunle Makama Oyelude who made the call in Lagos, noted that the country has been challenged by myriads of security challenges over the years.
Speaking at the Annual Lecture/Award ceremony of Crime Reporters Association of Nigeria (CRAN), held at Sheba Event Centre, Ikeja, however, acknowledged the dedication of members of the Association in the discharge of their duties.
He also charged the media practitioners to be more dedicated, emphasising that the reward of more work is hard work.
His words, ” As you all know our country is challenged by the myriads of security challenges over the years. I want to acknowledge what the Crime Reporters Association of Nigeria has been doing collectively and individually to report crime and follow to a logical conclusion; they should also know that the reward of hard work is more work.
“Towards this end, I will implore you that more than ever, you work with the law enforcement agencies and well-meaning individuals to rid the country of undesirable elements fomenting trouble”.
