FOUNDER THE SIXTHSENSE INITIATIVE WELCOMES CP LANRE OGUNLOWO AND ADVOCATES FOR READING CULTURE AS A TOOL TO CURB YOUTH CRIME



Abiodun Oladimeji Lasile, also known as Orunto Baalufe of Owu Kingdom, recently met with Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Ogunlowo, 31st January, 2025 at the Eleweran headquarters. 

This meeting highlighted the importance of fostering a reading culture among the youth as a means to reduce their involvement in crime.

During the visit, Orunto Owu shared his vision through The SixthSense Initiative, emphasising how reading can engage young people and divert them from negative influences. "Reading is not just a hobby; it is a powerful tool that can shape young minds and steer them away from crime," Orunto stated. He believes that instilling a love for reading can help combat issues such as cultism, drug abuse, and other anti-social behaviours.

Chief Lasile commended the new Ogun Commissioner for his exemplary efforts in combating kidnappers and tackling criminality head-on, despite his short tenure. He urged the Commissioner to sustain this momentum, ensuring the continued peaceful coexistence of the people of Ogun State.

CP Ogunlowo echoed Orunto’s sentiments, urging more parents to take an active role in their children's lives and support their education. "We need a collective effort to ensure that our children are not only educated but also engaged in positive activities that build their character," he said. The Commissioner underscored that fostering a reading culture can provide young individuals with the knowledge they need to make better choices and avoid crime.

This collaboration between The SixthSense Initiative and the police aims to create a community where young people are encouraged to read, learn, and grow. Both Orunto and CP Ogunlowo are committed to developing programmes that promote reading as a fundamental aspect of youth development.
