Aare Musulumi Of Yorubaland, Edo and Delta states, Alhaji Dawud Makanjuola Akinola has berated the past leaders in the country for paying lip service to security of lives and properties stating that the recent increase in violence killings, kidnappings and banditry are the consequences of their negligence.
