Majority leader of the house, Hon Sanjo Adedoyin, im his submission noted that despite the efforts put into and publicity that greeted the Amotekun law, it was unfortunate that the situation of bandits attacks seem to be on the rise and urged the state government to ensure full implementation of the Amotekun Corp law.
The Minority leader, Hon Ashimiyu Alarape, while speaking on the subject, gave kudos to security operatives over the swift response to the recent attack by the unknown bandits.
He also commended governor Seyi Makinde for his efforts and measures taking to improve security in the state, he however, described as unfortunate lives that were lost during the attack at Akinyele stressing that the bandits have registered their presence at Akinyele and Ogbomoso through the recent unabated attacks adding that if nothing was urgently done, nobody knows where the next attack will be.
