‘We’ll strike Jan 20,’ bandits allegedly write Ikoyi town, as communities in Ogbomoso outskirts report nocturnal meetings by Fulani (SEE LETTER)

Audaciously, bandits have allegedly written the people of Ikoyi-Ile, headquarters of Oriire local government area in Oyo state that they would begin their operations in the area January 20, which is two Tuesdays away. The development has escalated panic in the council area.

In similar vein residents of communities in the outskirts of Ogbomoso especially towards Ikoyi axis have raised alarm that they have been spotting strange faces in their areas holding meetings in the dead of the night. One such area according to findings by ogbomosoinsightonline.com is Omo-o-Jeun area, lying towards Ikoyi-Ile. “It is true, there was a gathering of people we were sure were of Fulani stock at a junction in our area behind Omo-o-Jeun Hotel on Wednesday/Thursday night,” a resident who however pleaded to remain anonymous, informed ogbomosoinsghtonline.com. “It is unambiguous, people sighted them, residents later met in the day and we reported at the office of Amotekun Corps, where it was disclosed, they had received similar reports from other communities.

They however complained hey were ill-equipped for such emergency in terms of men, and equipment and that they didn’t even know how to deploy their men in the face of the intelligence reports coming in. They therefore advised us to alert other agencies.” When contacted this was confirmed at the Amotekun Corps office in the city.
