Bandits Threat: Police Beef Up Security Around Worship Centres In Ondo

In a swift response to the alleged threat letter being circulated that the bandits had threatened to attack churches in Owo, Owo Local Government Area of Ondo State again, the state Police Command has beefed up security around worship centres across the state.

The state Commissioner of Police, Wilfred Afolabi gave the order despite the fact that he said the source of the letter could not be ascertained.

But as a precautionary measure, heavily armed operatives were deployed to provide security in all worship centres across the 18 local government areas of the state.

A statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) for the state, Olayinka Ayanlade, a Deputy Superintendent of Police(DSP), on Sunday, reads: “The attention of the Ondo State Police Command has been drawn to reports circulating on some media platforms regarding an alleged letter purportedly written by a bandit involved in the tragic Owo church attack, threatening to strike again.

“The Command wishes to state unequivocally that while the source and authenticity of the said letter remain unverified, the report has necessitated a prompt and strategic response in the interest of public safety.

“In response, the Commissioner of Police has ordered the heavy deployment of operational assets to all churches and mosques across the state, particularly during days of worship.

“Surveillance and patrol activities have also been significantly intensified to forestall any potential attack and reassure the public of their safety.”

The police called for verified information before disseminating and charged “the public to desist from spreading unverified information or fake news that could heighten tension and cause unnecessary panic.

“Such actions are counterproductive and capable of undermining the security progress we have collectively achieved.”

The people of the state were, therefore, “advised to go about their lawful activities without fear or panic. The Police, in collaboration with other security agencies, remain fully committed to ensuring the safety and security of all lives and property in the state.

“For any suspicious activity or information, members of the public are encouraged to contact the nearest police station or use the emergency lines, 07032358284, made available by the Command.
