The Oyo State Government has deployed 200 operatives of the Oyo State Western Nigeria Security Network codenamed Amotekun in Ibarapa Local Government Area of the state.

Of late, there has been crisis between Ibarapa indigenes and Fulani herdsmen accused of perpetrating crimes ranging from kidnappings, killings, rape to invasion of farmlands with their cattle in the area.

In a statement on Wednesday, Governor Seyi Makinde said the deployment of Amotekun Corps followed a meeting with security agencies and stakeholders in the crisis-torn area.

He said, “Following the meeting held with representatives of Igangan, Ibarapaland which was attended by security stakeholders including the recently appointed Commissioner of Police, Oyo State, Mrs. Ngozi Onadeko, our administration has come up with a security strategy for that zone.

“We have resolved to redeploy 200 members of the Oyo State Western Nigeria Security Network codenamed Amotekun to kidnapping/banditry hotspots in the state, especially in the Ibarapa and Oke-Ogun zones. ‌
“These operatives will launch missions to rid the forests of criminals.

They will be presenting daily reports of their activities to me in the short run and periodic reports in the long run. “In the next few weeks, we’ll hold town hall meetings and community outreaches, bringing together residents and security agencies to talk about any issues of immediate concern and how they can be resolved through dialogue and more effective community policing.”

What He should have done since
thank God for a Hero like Sunday Igboho

Funny people. ..they are deploying after Sunday igboho has chased them out

With those their dane guns?

, have the seriki Fulani returned or he's still on exile in ogun state ?

Amotekun and Herdsmen should play friendly match na

Make we see who go win

Hmmmm

Sunday Igboho you've done well in just one week for the oppressed what Tinubu could not do in 30 years.

Will amotekun help matters? because I still don't trust them too

Ranching of cattle is the lasting solution.

Placing a ban on open grazing is not a solution.

Mumu governor ... Who cares

Good move,FFK is definitely a coward ,he won't criticize this weak and confused oyo governor now cos he is in same party but if he was in A PC now he would have spurred lots of bile on him...the real problem of our southern leaders are mostly greed and hypocrisy..while in the north we have greed and nepotism

May Almighty God Protect Igboho from all evil... Thanks to you Igboho for open Mumu Makinde eyes

That’s the plan..

Herdsmen should move to the city..

Kidnappers would no longer have an advantage to disguise as herdsmen..

V

igbayi laaro.....yeye man

Will they make things better or complicate it? God help us.

I hope this yields a positive result.

You see why bubu no want community policing?. Dem fail

Too late to cry after the head has been cut off.......

I don't even understand why those Fulani Herdmen are doing all this
still wondering who gave they liver self...Pls government should dig in to the root of this

Oyo is proactive & I love it unlike Benue where the governor would wait to see bloody attacks on its people & then start wailing

Better. We want more of this wakening zeal. I also read that an Area Command of Police had been approved for the 3 Ibarapa local governments

He is just waking up.
Does he really think he would get federal support in 2023? He has lost face with the people because of petty politics. What a letdown!

All na sense. Use Igboho to disperse them while you claim ignorance. Then place amotekun there.
Objective achieved

This herdsmen no the hear word but very soon the go hear word.

Lol, I hope they're fully armored to carry out their duties as spelt out to them.
