Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has hinted that he was closer to being attacked by terrorists as he was some kilometers away from them. He alleged that they were bandits who are coming from the northern region.
The governor stated that he was lodging somewhere and he was briefed that terrorists were closer to him.
He said: “The year 2024 was challenging, particularly in terms of safety and security.
“We had incidents of fire outbreaks, armed robberies, and kidnappings. However, in 2025, we will redouble our efforts to address these issues.”
“During a security briefing this morning, I learned that some bad elements from the North-West are relocating here due to military heat in their zones. But we will find and deal with them.”
“During my birthday retreat, bandits had camped less than two kilometres from where I was staying.”
“This underscores the seriousness of the situation.”
