The Ondo State Government has assured residents of their safety following a leaked security memo warning of a possible terrorist attack in some parts of the state.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Dr. Idowu Ajanaku, said the government was aware of the security alert reportedly sent by the Department of State Services (DSS) to the 32 Artillery Brigade of the Nigerian Army in Akure.
Ajanaku said Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s administration had taken necessary steps in collaboration with security agencies to ensure the continued safety of lives and property across the state.
“There is no cause for alarm. The state government, in partnership with all security agencies, has put adequate measures in place to prevent any breach of peace,” the statement read in part.
The commissioner urged residents to remain calm and continue with their normal activities, assuring that security operatives were fully on alert to respond to any threat.
He cautioned against the spread of unverified information capable of causing panic and appealed to citizens to promptly report suspicious movements to the appropriate authorities.
Ajanaku reaffirmed the government’s commitment to maintaining peace and stability, noting that Ondo remains one of the most secure states in Nigeria under Governor Aiyedatiwa’s leadership.
