Makinde said preliminary findings surrounding the Orire incident revealed that suspicious movements and activities were not reported quickly to security agencies, thereby undermining efforts to prevent the tragedy.
The Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has declared that the Friday schools attack, murder and abduction by terrorists in the Orire Local Government Area of the state exposed a major gap in intelligence gathering and information-sharing, warning residents against withholding critical security information from law enforcement agencies.
The governor made the statement on Saturday during the inauguration of the newly established Violent Crime Response Unit (VCRU) of the Nigeria Police Force and the commissioning of its headquarters in Ibadan.
Makinde said preliminary findings surrounding the Orire incident revealed that suspicious movements and activities were not reported quickly to security agencies, thereby undermining efforts to prevent the tragedy.
“From what we know so far about yesterday’s incident in Orire Local Government, there is still a big gap in giving timely information to security agencies. When you see strange movements or suspicious behaviour, please report it,” the governor said.
