Military personnel deployed by the Nigerian Army headquarters have arrived at Ado- Ekiti, the capital of Ekiti State. The deployment aims to beef up security across the state.
This was disclosed in a recent video posted on the state government’s Facebook page with the caption, “Massive deployment of military personnel arrives in Ekiti to boost security in the state.”
While talking to journalists at the Fajuyi Pavilion in Ado-Ekiti, the Commander 32 Artillery Brigade, Akure, John Larr said: “There will no be hiding place for any bandits or criminals because we will comb the nooks and crannies of Ekiti State, I will know no boundary.
“There will be no nights and no days because we will do our work and clear the bushes 24 hours and I want to say that we are starting now, we just came now and we are starting now.”
Recall that on January 30, two traditional rulers coming back from a meeting in the state were killed by suspected kidnappers. The traditional rulers were David Ogunsakin, the Elesun of Esun-Ekiti; and Olatunde Olusola, the Onimojo of Omojola-Ekiti. Also, gunmen kidnapped six pupils of Apostolic Faith School, three teachers, and a driver as the school bus headed for Eporo-Ekiti from Emure on the same day.
