Osun State terrorist attack alert has prompted Governor Ademola Adeleke to urge residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious movements to security agencies.
The governor issued the warning after the Department of State Services (DSS) raised concerns about possible terrorist attacks targeting places of worship in parts of Osun State.
Adeleke said residents must take the security alert seriously. He also urged them to share useful information with security agencies without delay.
The governor’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, issued the statement on Sunday.
According to the statement, residents should watch for unusual activities in their communities. They should also report unfamiliar people whose movements appear suspicious.
The governor placed particular emphasis on border communities across the state. He urged residents in those areas to remain alert and cooperate with security agencies.
The Osun State terrorist attack alert has also renewed calls for stronger community-based security measures.
However, the governor did not ask residents to panic. Instead, he called for vigilance, responsible reporting and cooperation with security personnel.
Security agencies often depend on information from residents to identify potential threats early. Therefore, prompt reporting could help authorities investigate suspicious movements before they become security incidents.
Residents should avoid confronting anyone they consider suspicious. Instead, they should contact the appropriate security agency and provide clear information about what they have observed.
The latest Osun State terrorist attack alert comes amid wider concerns about attacks on vulnerable public places, including religious centres.
Authorities have continued to encourage communities to remain watchful, especially in areas close to state borders.
For now, Adeleke’s message is clear: residents should remain calm but alert and work with security agencies to protect their communities.
