The pan-Yoruba socio-cultural and socio-political organization, Afenifere, has called on governments in the South-West to beef up security in the region.
The call followed reports of the influx of bandits into the South-West.
The body made the call in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Jare Ajayi, following an alarm raised by Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, that bandits being dislodged in the northern part of Nigeria are camping in parts of Oyo State.
Charmingpro recalls Makinde, while speaking at the 2025 annual inter-faith service for workers held at the Secretariat, Agodi, Ibadan, on Monday, disclosed that bandits being dislodged from the North-West of Nigeria are infiltrating his state.
“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,” Makinde said
