The Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) says the reported deaths of more than 200 Amotekun Corps operatives are “unacceptable,” urging Governor Seyi Makinde to explain the circumstances and strengthen security in the state. The APC position comes after Makinde discloses the losses during a sympathy visit to affected communities in Oriire Local Government Area. Reports from the visit describe a recent incident involving suspected bandits, including the killing of two people and the abduction of about 45 schoolchildren along with some of their teachers. In response, the opposition party calls for clearer information on the reported Amotekun casualties and for improved measures to prevent further attacks and kidnappings. Both accounts frame the APC response as a demand for accountability from the state government, while also linking the concern to the broader security challenges facing communities in Oyo State. The APC’s statements reflect pressure on the governor amid ongoing reports of armed attacks and school kidnappings.
