Irepodun/Ifelodun LG Chair Hon Oluwatuyi Supports Security Agencies in Ire/Ife Bush Combating Exercise.

...Commends Oyebanji's Efforts Towards Enhancing Security in the State.

In a bid to enhance security and safeguard lives and properties, security agencies in collaboration with the Local Government Chairman, Honorable Gbenga Oluwatuyi, organized a bush combing exercise in Ire/Ife Bush, located in Igede-Ekiti, the capital of Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government Area.

On Friday, February 9th, gallant personnel from the Nigeria Police Force, Vigilante Group, Amotekun Corps, Association of Hunters and Forest Guard, and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps descended upon the Ire/Ife Bush. The exercise was part of the government's ongoing efforts to combat crime and bolster security measures in the area.

The Chairman Honorable Gbenga Oluwatuyi, after holding crucial meetings with various security agencies in the local government, provided unwavering support and directives to ensure the successful execution of the operation. His commitment to enhancing the protection of lives and properties was evident as he authorized and backed the security agencies in their mission to rid the bush of criminal elements.

During the operation, security personnel interacted with non-indigenous residents in the farmsteads, cautioning them against harboring criminals within their midst. Notably, the only Fulani individual encountered during the exercise, who had erected a hut in the forest with his cattle, was promptly invited to the police station for profiling.

Addressing reporters, Hon Oluwatuyi expressed his readiness to collaborate with Governor Oyebanji in championing the protection of lives and properties in the local government area, aligning with the six pillars outlined by the state government. He commended Governor Oyebanji for his relentless efforts in securing the release of kidnapped pupils and teachers from Apostolic Faith Nursery in Emure-Ekiti. Furthermore, he praised the Governor for initiating dialogue meetings with service chiefs, leading to the deployment of additional military personnel to fortify security across the state's territories.

The combing exercise in Ire/Ife Bush signifies a proactive step towards ensuring the safety and well-being of residents, underscoring the government's commitment to fostering a secure environment for all citizens.
