“Though lives were lost, I commend the men of the Nigerian Police and the Local Vigilante for repelling and foiling the robbery attack on the banks, Governor Adegboyega Oyetola will continue to work to improve on the security acrhitectutre of the state.

“Ikire and Apomu has been known to be peaceful, it is saddening that this dare devil armed robbers attacked our peaceful towns and claimed innocent lives, it is a sad period for us in Ikire and Apomu, this is heart wrenching and heart breaking indeed.
