Reported loss of over 200 Amotekun operatives unacceptable, Oyo APC tells Makinde

The Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared the reported loss of over 200 operatives of the state's security outfit, Amotekun, as unacceptable. The opposition party directed its criticism at Governor Seyi Makinde.

This strong reaction from the APC comes in the wake of Governor Makinde's recent disclosure. During a sympathy visit to communities in the Oriire Local Government Area, the governor revealed details of recent violent incidents. Suspected bandits reportedly killed two individuals and abducted approximately 45 schoolchildren, along with some of their teachers.

The APC's statement implies that the state government's security measures are inadequate, leading to significant losses within its own security forces and a failure to protect citizens from banditry. The party is demanding accountability and a more effective approach to security in the state.
