AbdulRazaq briefed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu about the recent attack at Oke Ode, in which he reiterated his request for additional federal troops to raid the hideouts.
As part of its renewed efforts to improve security operations in the state, he claimed, “The Army Headquarters has since moved the General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the 2nd Division to Ilorin.”
“On Monday night, armed bandits were neutralized by combined forces of the Army, DSS, and Police in the vicinity of Baba Sango along the Kwara–Kogi border.
On Tuesday, the same operation continued. I also presided over the State Security Council meeting at Ahmadu Bello House in Ilorin yesterday night to integrate state and federal assets into a single strategy for both Kwara North and South.
Governor AbdulRazaq assured Kwara residents that his administration would continue to support security organizations to protect everyone.

The security forces have promised to smoke out and get rid of criminals from their hideouts, I assure me. Every resource we have available will help us combat insecurity.
“Kwara will not be a criminals’ hideout.” You may flee from any criminal who wants to destabilize Kwara’s atmosphere, but you can’t escape justice.
