The Ekiti State Government and the state Police Command have said they are stepping up security in every section of the state to ward off insecurity relating to alleged invasion of the Ekiti by herdsmen.
In a statement in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday, the Police Commissioner, Mr Tunde Mobayo, urged the public to discountenance the rumour flying around alleging that herdsmen have relocated to the state forests following their eviction from the Ondo forest reserves by the Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu.
“We are needing up security at the borders and we are ensuring that no criminal enters Ekiti but only those who are doing legitimate business. Omole assured residents in the state of the safety of their lives and properties, adding that relevant security agencies including the state Amotekun Corps are monitoring the state boundaries round the clock.
