The Ondo State Government has assured residents of their safety following the circulation of a leaked security memo indicating a possible terrorist attack in some parts of the state.
In a statement signed by the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mr. Idowu Ajanaku, the government confirmed awareness of the memo issued by the State Security Services (SSS) to the 32 Artillery Brigade of the Nigerian Army in Akure, noting that such intelligence exchanges are routine among security agencies.
According to the statement, the leaked document forms part of regular security assessments designed to enhance vigilance and forestall potential threats through coordinated action among security operatives.
“The public can be assured that these reports are being acted upon by the government and relevant security agencies. Necessary precautions have been taken to ensure the safety and security of all residents,” Ajanaku stated.
He urged residents to remain calm and vigilant, and to report any suspicious activity to the nearest security formation, stressing that the administration of Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa remains proactive in protecting lives and property across the state.
The statement added that the government is maintaining constant communication with all security agencies, with particular attention to border communities, to keep Ondo among the safest states in the country.
Residents were also advised to go about their lawful activities, avoid spreading panic, and cooperate with security personnel in maintaining peace and order.
