Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has described as unfortunate the attack by bandits at the Old Oyo National Park Office, Oloka village in Oriire LGA, which resulted in the death of five National Park Service Forest Guards.
In a statement issued via his X account, Mr Makinde said that the incident, which occurred during the early hours of Wednesday, was devastating, and led to loss of lives of personnel in the course of carrying out their lawful duties.
He assured that his administration would leave no stone unturned to ensure that such attacks are not repeated.
“Preliminary investigations by the security agencies indicate that this was a cross-border attack carried out by bandits.
” The security agencies are already working together to address this incident and seek the support of residents in the area to cooperate with them in their intelligence gathering.
“Let me appeal to residents of Oyo State, especially those in Oriire LGA and other LGAs along our borders, to remain calm as the security agencies have restored normalcy and deployed more personnel to the area,” Mr Makinde stated.
