Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has revealed that security operatives recently foiled an alleged plot to bomb the Ondo State Government House, describing it as one of several successful efforts to tackle insecurity in the state.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, Aiyedatiwa said intelligence reports received about three to four months ago alerted security agencies to suspicious activities involving a group of youths allegedly planning an attack on the seat of government.
According to him, the suspects initially lodged in a hotel before relocating to a rented apartment, where security operatives later recovered materials and equipment allegedly linked to the planned operation.
“Following intelligence reports, the police and Amotekun moved in, raided the location, arrested the suspects, and they remain in custody,” he said.
Aiyedatiwa noted that investigations were ongoing to determine the motive behind the alleged plot, adding that the incident highlighted the importance of intelligence gathering and collaboration among security agencies.
“Security is one responsibility that leaders carry that is not so visible to everybody. It is only when there is a lapse that it will look as if the government has not been doing enough. We have been doing so much,” he said.
The governor also said South-West governors were strengthening cooperation through intelligence sharing and regional security initiatives, including the Amotekun Corps.
“What I am saying in essence is that we are talking to ourselves; we are working,” he stated.
Aiyedatiwa further welcomed the conviction of four persons linked to the June 2022 attack on St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Owo, describing the judgment as a victory for justice and the rule of law.
“For us in Ondo State, we are happy that this judgment is a victory for the rule of law and for all the victims attacked,” he said.
