Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has said a military-backed rescue and protection security operation is ongoing in Ora Igbomina community.
The Governor who stated that the military operation has been underway for the past three days, commiserated with the people of the community over the recent bandit attack.
Speaking after an emergency security council meeting held on Wednesday evening, the Governor described the Ora incident as saddening and a major security breach.
A statement by the Governor’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, said Adeleke, during the meeting, expressed confidence that the ongoing military-backed security operations across the border towns would prevent recurrence of the attacks and also secure the release of the kidnapped retired customs officer.
“From the moment of the unfortunate incident, our security forces have launched a rescue and protection operation. For the past three days, both the police, the army and the DSS have been combing the areas for rescue and also reviewing the security apparatus. A delicate operation is ongoing, and we don’tt want to jeopardise the integrity of the process,” Adeleke noted.
