Atiku said, “The tempo of armed attacks in some parts of Kwara State, and indeed in different parts of the country, is alarming.
“The recent being the reported tragic killings at Oke-Ode where innocent lives, including vigilantes and the traditional ruler of Ogbayo community, were killed by rampaging bandits.
“I wish to once again make a call to relevant security agencies and policy makers to not let the map of insecurity fester, as it seems.
“I would implore that all hands are on deck to ensure that our beloved Kwara State and its people are not just protected but also be the bulwark against a raging dark army of armed criminals.
“Kwara is a gateway, and we must fight for its safety.”
