“Terror Alert: Ondo Police Carry Out Security Assessment of Border Community Facilities”

In response to growing worries about insecurity in the nation, the Ondo State Police Command has started a strategic evaluation of its formations at border villages in the state.
It claimed that its response complied with Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun’s order, which required police commissioners across the country to guarantee the security of schools, vital assets, all government property, and police facilities.
Adobowale Lawal, the commissioner of the Ondo State Police, took his team on a “comprehensive assessment tour” of the state’s key facilities on Saturday.

The commissioner examined the current security measures throughout the exercise and emphasized the necessity of ongoing development to ensure everyone’s safety and well-being.
He mentioned that the state governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, was helping the authorities take steps to improve the welfare of the employees working at the facilities in order to increase their efficacy.
The facilities and formations of the Force in and around the Akoko region of Ondo State are the police facilities that were visited.
Mr. Lawal engaged with police and management staff throughout the trips, evaluated the security architecture in place, and praised the staff for their commitment and expertise.
In order to improve operational effectiveness and guarantee the ongoing protection of people and property, he also promised to upgrade the current security systems.
All tactical units, Area Commands, and Divisional Police Headquarters covering the aforementioned locations have been instructed to do routine supervision inspections and submit thorough situational reports to the Command, according to Police PPRO Olayinka Ayanlade.
“This proactive measure is intended to ensure the early detection of emerging security concerns, strengthen coordination, and sustain vigilance,” he stated.
Additionally, the commissioner visited the Eti Ose hamlet near the Ondo-Edo border to examine continuing security measures.
In addition, he praised the policemen and troops on duty for their perseverance and assured them of his steadfast support for their efforts to protect the state.
Following the recent attack by bandits on the Christ Apostolic Church in Oke-Igan, Eruku, in the Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State, tensions have been high in Ondo State and its surrounding areas.
About 35 people are said to have been kidnapped by the bandits, who are now seeking N100 million in ransom for each victim.
The pace of instability, which has already been exacerbated by kidnappings in the region, has also increased due to rumors of bandit infiltration in southern Nigeria.
