The pan-Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere, has expressed concern over the recent upsurge in banditry, kidnapping, and alleged terror threats across parts of the South-West and neighboring states. In a statement on Tuesday, National Publicity Secretary Comrade Jare Ajayi cited the recent attack on the Igbeti-Igboho Road, kidnapping incidents in Ondo, Kwara, and Kogi States, and a reported Department of State Services alert on plans by terrorists to attack public places in Osun State. Ajayi described the attack on the base of Operation Burst within the Oyo National Park as particularly worrisome, noting that attackers reportedly set fire to the base and an operational vehicle. He also referenced an earlier attack on a Forest Guards' base in Oriire Local Government Area, where five officers were reportedly killed before the abduction of pupils and teachers.
