Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Biodun Oyebanji has directed all security agencies operating in Ekiti State to relocate their operational headquarters to the Oke Ako and Iyemero axis and remain stationed within the forest corridors bordering neighbouring states to strengthen protection and surveillance.
The directive follows heightened security concerns around border communities. The military and other security agencies were visibly deployed along the axis, accompanied by the Special Adviser on Security Matters, the Commissioner of Police, and the State Director of security services, who were physically present at the operational location to coordinate field activities.
Governor Oyebanji emphasised the need for proactive security responses to emerging threats, particularly in border towns vulnerable to infiltration. He reiterated that intelligence-led operations, sustained forest presence, and inter-agency collaboration remain critical to safeguarding lives and property.
The Governor further enjoined communities within the affected areas to cooperate fully with security agencies by providing timely and credible intelligence. He stressed that community partnership remains indispensable in sustaining peace and preventing criminal elements from exploiting forest and boundary locations.
The renewed deployment underscores the state government’s commitment to strengthening internal security architecture and ensuring that border communities remain protected through continuous operational presence and vigilance.
