By: Olufemi Orunsola
Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde has expressed his sorrow over the death of law-abiding forest guards killed during the attack, assuring residents that justice will be served.
The Governor made this known in a personal address posted on his social media handles.
The post reads, '"Earlier today, there was a criminal attack by bandits at the National Park Office, Oloka Village which resulted in the death of five National Park Service Forest Guard Officers. This is a devastating loss of the lives of personnel in the course of carrying out their lawful duties. May their souls rest in peace."
The Governor maintained that, "Preliminary investigations by the security agencies indicate that this was a cross-border attack carried out by bandits," adding that, "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".
He therefore appealed 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. Our administration will leave no stone unturned to respond decisively to prevent a recurrence of such attacks.
