Ondo State Governor, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has ordered intensified security patrols across communities and forest areas of the state. The directive was issued on Thursday during a meeting with security chiefs in Akure, the state capital. The governor noted that security operatives, including members of the Joint Operations Task Force and Amotekun Corps, were already on patrol across the state and in forested areas. “Somehow, they were able to breach security, but the swift response of the security agencies helped greatly to curtail the situation. He explained that the emergency meeting with security chiefs focused on reviewing the incident, assessing the security response and ensuring that similar acts do not recur.
