Residents of Oke-Ode in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State have commended the Federal Government for deploying soldiers to curb banditry and restore peace in the area. The National President of the Oke-Ode Development Association, Alhaji Abdulganiyu Ajala-Bello, described the move as timely, noting that persistent attacks had displaced over 52 communities.
Ajala-Bello said commercial activities were gradually resuming following the military’s arrival and announced that buses would be provided on Saturday to convey displaced residents back home from Ilorin. He urged security agencies to sustain the momentum, emphasizing that the community deserves lasting peace and protection from further attacks.
