My people, hear dis one! Oyo State Police don land with important gist for wey people wey dey waka around water areas. E be like say dem don dey experience plenty wahala with drowning matter lately, so dem don talk say make everybody dey shine dey eye well well around rivers, streams, and even swimming pools.
As the PPRO, Olayinka Ayanlade, yarn for Ibadan, him talk say church owners and all dem religious folks wey get worship places near water areas, make dem no slack on safety measures during service. Na wetin happen for 2025 wey dem dey worry about. Dem say na two children and one man don lose dem life due to careless wahala around water. Just last year, for June, dem recover one small girl of two years from well for Orita Mokola Junction. Na serious matter be dis!
Ayanlade no just stop there, him come talk say make parents and guardians dey vigilant no be small. Dem no suppose allow children dey waka or swim without reliable adult wey go follow dem. Na wetin dem sabi as proper supervision. E no good at all make small pikin near water without person wey fit take charge. Na serious warning, my people!
He also advice hotel owners and guys wey get recreational facilities say make dem put proper safety measures in place. Swimming pools must get trained lifeguards, and dem must dey supervise the area well. Safety notices dey important, no be to just carry pipo enter water anyhow. Many people no sabi how to swim, dem go just dey enter water like say na ground dem dey waka.
For cases wey concern well too, Ayanlade stress say, ‘Abeg, make una ensure say wells dey covered and secure. If well cover dey spoil or get damaged, make una fix am sharp-sharp, to prevent accidents.’ E dey vex as he dey emphasize all dis safety talks, because life no dey joke matter at all.
Plus, all these recreational facilities wey dey run pool, dem suppose hire instructors or trained tutors wey go fit keep an eye on people wey dey swim. Safety na everybody business, and no body suppose dey lose him life for matter wey fit prevent. Ayanlade wan make sure say nobody dey snatch any pikin or adult from water again.
