The Ondo State Government has set up a security joint task force to tackle security challenges facing the people of the state.

This came a few days after some suspected bandits unleashed terror on the state killing and kidnapping the people.

The hoodlums allegedly attacked the Aba Oyinbo Community in Akure North Local Government Area and shot dead five farmers.

The incident sparked a protest by farmers in Akure, the state capital.

A few days before that incident, some suspected herdsmen attacked four communities of Ademekun, Aba Sunday, Aba Pastor and Aba Alajido, killing 14 farmers in the communities all in the same Akure North LG.

Speaking with journalists on the arrest on Sunday in Akure, the state Commander of the Amotekun Corps, Akogun Adeleye, disclosed that the task force set up by Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa comprised all security agencies.

He said, “We want to reassure the residents of this state that they can continue their normal farming activities as the government has established a joint task force to stabilise the very remote areas of Akure North, where these nefarious activities take place. The government is also making efforts to open up the roads in the area such that quick response can occur in case of emergency.
