Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa issues a 14-day ultimatum to kidnappers and other criminals operating in the state’s forest reserves. He orders the suspects to vacate the forests within the period or face severe consequences.
Both outlets report that the governor frames the move as part of a wider crackdown on criminal activities linked to forest hideouts. Vanguard adds that Aiyedatiwa mobilises security agencies and local hunters to carry out raids on alleged criminal hideouts, describing the action as a campaign to end kidnappings and similar illicit acts in Ondo State. The Punch similarly focuses on the ultimatum and the demand for criminals to leave, without detailing the operational aspects.
Overall, the two reports align on the core announcement: a 14-day deadline targeting kidnappers and other criminals in Ondo’s forest reserves, alongside an implied escalation of enforcement as the deadline approaches.
