Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has enjoined residents of the state to be security conscious during the festive season.
The governor in his Christmas message gave the advice in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Taiwo Adisa, on Saturday.
He said the State has recorded a low rate of criminality under his administration.
“I celebrate with all residents of Oyo State and all Nigerians on witnessing the 2022 Christmas festivity.
“It is another opportunity to celebrate Jesus Christ and the lessons his life taught humanity; lessons of humility, selflessness, godliness and service.
“I encourage everyone to use the opportunity of the occasion to remember the life of Christ and emulate him.
“I also charge our people to be alert and sensitive during the Yuletide, especially with regards to security.
“At the last Security Council meeting we had, it was said that crimes are at the lowest ebb in Oyo State and that the state is now a bad business for criminals.
