The Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) has reacted to the letter addressed to President Muhammadu Buhari by the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi on the security situation in the country, particularly the South West. But the BMO in a statement signed by Niyi Akinsiju and Cassidy Madueke, chairman and secretary, respectively claimed that facts on the ground did not support the alarm raised by the Alaafin of Oyo. “We have acknowledged the security situation that the Oyo Monarch has alluded to, but facts on ground do not support his allegation that no major arrests of suspects have been made. “But when the Police swung into action, two suspects identified as Blessing Boyo and Smart Alfred were arrested and paraded. The group, however, urged the security agencies to do more to stem the tide of kidnapping and banditry President Buhari acknowledged as emerging challenges in the country.
