Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams, has called for enhanced security measures across the Southwest, as well as parts of Kwara and Kogi States, to prevent recurring bandit attacks and the tragic loss of lives. In a statement issued on Thursday by his media office, Adams emphasized the need for increased security patrols, intelligence gathering, and active community engagement to stem the wave of attacks on civilians. Adams further called on relevant authorities to act swiftly to apprehend the perpetrators and provide support to the victims. In recent months, several communities in Kwara and Kogi States have faced persistent bandit attacks, including Babanla, Bororo, Osi, and Oro in Kwara, and Ejiba, Egbe, Okoloke, Okunran, Odo-Ape, and Ole-Bunu in Kogi State. Adams urged residents of Oke-Ode, neighbouring communities, and other Yoruba-speaking areas in the Southwest, Kwara, and Kogi to remain vigilant and cooperate fully with security agencies by reporting suspicious activities.
