The Chief of Defence Staff, General Olufemi Oluyede, has ordered the deployment of special forces and aerial surveillance assets to Oyo State following recent kidnapping incidents in the state.
This is as he assured residents that troops would maintain a relentless posture until the perpetrators are brought to account and the region’s security is completely restored.
Speaking with journalists on Tuesday during a briefing on the military’s activities for May, the Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj. Gen. Michael Onoja said the Armed Forces of Nigeria acknowledged the security concerns in Oyo and expressed sympathy to the affected families, the government and residents of the state.
