The Olubadan-designate while speaking, admonished Mogajis and Baales to be security conscious in their areas of jurisdiction.
Ladoja while addressing the gathering said that he was ready to attract investors to not only Ibadanland but also Oyo State where peaceful co - existence reigns supreme.
He noted that he will not allow anything like land grabbing or security breaches to discourage them, consequently the need for this warning
He said "You are the Chief Security Officers in your domains and as such, you will be held responsible for any security lapse in your areas.
"You should have the knowledge of the happenings in your environment and if you have any security challenge beyond your control, contact us, we will rise up to the occasion and assist you immediately.
"Don't tell me you don't know the existence of Boko Haram or other criminals in your localities if they exist at all, report them to the law enforcement agents, they will take necessary actions to stop their nefarious activities
"I am attracting investors to not only Ibadanland but also Oyo State where peaceful co - existence reigns supreme, I will not allow anything like Land grabbing to discourage them, consequently the need for this warning.
"The issue of land grabbing is a serious offence in Ibadanland that attracts sanctions ranging from traditional title withdrawal, stoppage of erring traditional rulers from parading themselves as Ibadan traditional chiefs or be prosecuted when and where necessary.
"To allow peaceful co- existence, promotion of social - cultural activities, security of lives and property, economic emancipation, unity and progress in Ibadanland are our collective responsibilities
"To reduce criminal acts if not totally eradicated, local governments also have vital roles to play in the maintenance of law and orders like making bye - laws forbidden noice pollution, unhygienic environment, open cattle gracing and drug addiction, among others".
