“As a state, we will continue to care for the families of the fallen heroes and ensure that their welfare is guaranteed. For all of us, who live in Oyo State, I think we should all ensure that, when we see people who have lost their spouses, either as members of the Armed Forces or not, who have fought gallantly to make Nigeria safe,” he said.
He said a lot of the efforts have to do with the strategy that have been deployed, the cooperation among all the security agencies in the state, as well as the settling down of Amotekun itself. Going forward, we expect that it will continue at this pace and even get better.”
