The Oyo and Ogun State governments have announced enhanced security measures along their borders to address rising insecurity, particularly during the festive season. The Joint Security Commission for both states made the announcement following a meeting held along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Thursday.
The security reinforcement aims to ensure the safety of residents, motorists, and travelers during the ember months, which typically see increased movement across borders. Special Advisers on Security to both governors, Fatai Owoseni of Oyo and Olusola Subair of Ogun, emphasized the importance of collective vigilance and collaboration between security agencies.
Both states have strengthened their security framework, including communication integration, where residents can call a toll-free number (615) to report suspicious activities, facilitating swift governmental action. The meeting also reviewed the progress made over the past two years in reducing criminal activities on key highways linking the two states.
