Ekiti State Urged to Boost Security Amid Rising Criminal Activities Along Kogi State Border

The Ekiti State Development Forum, represented by the Kogi State Presidency Forum, has called on Governor Abiodun Oyebanji to strengthen security measures along the state's border with Kogi State. This appeal comes in response to a surge in criminal activities, including banditry and kidnappings, in communities sharing boundaries with Kogi State.

The forum highlighted the intensifying attacks by criminal elements from Kogi State, leading to security breaches and a sense of insecurity among residents. They emphasized the importance of fortifying security to prevent further incidents and ensure the safety of the affected communities.

Additionally, the forum urged the governor to expedite the repair of roads in the area to enhance accessibility and security measures. The call for enhanced security measures aims to address the growing threats posed by criminal elements infiltrating Ekiti State from neighboring Kogi State.
