The authorities of Ejigbo Local Government Area of Osun State have mapped out strategies to ensure improved security across all towns and villages within the council.

In line with this, a comprehensive security meeting was held at the council secretariat, bringing together top government officials and representatives of security agencies, including the Police, DSS, FRSC, Immigration, Customs, CID, Civil Defence, hunters, community leaders, traditional rulers, and other stakeholders.

Addressing the gathering, the Chairman of Ejigbo Local Government, Mr Gbolahan Ayegbayo, urged residents across all communities under the council to remain security conscious and promptly report any suspicious individuals or activities to security agencies for immediate action.

Other participants, including security personnel and traditional rulers, who proposed practical measures aimed at sustaining peace and protecting lives and property within the area, also urged residents to avoid spreading rumors capable of causing panic in the society.

It was agreed at the meeting that residents in all towns and villages in Ejigbo should remain indoors by 10 o’clock at night and anyone found violating this directive would be apprehended by security agents.

Recall that, last week there were rumours of planned Bandit attack on schools in Ejigbo, Osun State, Oko and Ogbomoso both in Oyo state which caused panic in the affected towns.
