Aiyedatiwa, represented by the Commander of the Ondo Amotekun Corps, Akogun Adetunji Adeleye, visited the
affected communities, including Alajido and Sunday Camp, where nine people were killed.
The governor assured residents of immediate security interventions and relief support to ease their suffering. He
urged residents to return to their homes and farms, assuring them of adequate security.
Aiyedatiwa commiserated with the affected families, promising to secure the area and bring the culprits to justice.
“We assure residents and farmers that now that the government is here, we will secure the area and bring the culprits to justice.”
