The Ogun State Government has noted with deep regret the recent and unfortunate invasions of some of its communities by suspected militants who wreaked havoc on residents and national assets in the areas.
The affected communities are Ibafo, Arepo, Ebute Ibafo, Elepete and Kajola towns in the Obafemi Owode Local Government Area.
Government views these invasions as a direct attack on it and will confront it with every available force.
Towards this end, we are already collaborating with security agencies to unravel the causes and bring those behind this mindless destruction of lives and property to justice.
We are not only determined to apprehend and bring the perpetrators to book alone, ultimately our resolve is to forestall these unwarranted attacks on our people.
We hereby appeal to residents of the State, particularly those in the affected communities to remain calm as Government will leave no stone unturned to end the onslaught which is a threat to the peace the State is noted for.
The good people of the State would recall that the Senator Ibikunle Amosun CON FCA led administration on assumption of office gave priority and have continued to priotize the issue of security which has yielded immense results with near zero crime rate across the State.
We further assure residents that we will not relent in our efforts and will not spare undesirable elements threatening the peace we have enjoyed over time.
We also want to use this opportunity to appeal to residents, royal fathers and opinion leaders to be vigilant and report all suspicious movements or gatherings to the security agencies.
SIGNED
