The Osun State government held a security workshop with representatives from border towns to address insecurities like bandit influx and criminal activities. The aim is to strengthen border security, prevent criminal infiltration, and protect the state from potential threats. Security agencies report a likely increase in kidnapping, armed robbery, and illegal mining due to bandits migrating from northern states. Recommendations include sectorizing the state, increasing security presence, providing logistics support, establishing conflict resolution mechanisms, and addressing challenges like porous borders, cult activities, and farmers/herders clashes.
