In the wake of an attack on a school in Oyo State, Nigeria’s Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, and the Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, urge improved security responses. The Ooni calls for swift action to address what he describes as a growing security menace. He supports measures aimed at stopping future incidents and reducing the risk to communities and schools.
The Oluwo also calls on the Federal Government to strengthen the security role of traditional institutions. He urges the government to empower traditional rulers with resources such as security votes and logistics to help them confront banditry and related threats, particularly in Yoruba areas. Both statements frame the school attack as part of a wider security challenge that requires coordinated and timely intervention.
While the outlets report on the recommendations from the traditional leaders, they do not provide additional operational details about the incident itself in the excerpts shared. The common focus remains the need for stronger security action following the attack.
