Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji has assured that his administration is resolutely committed to wage relentless wars against kidnappers, bandits and marauding herders terrorising the state at border posts to safeguard the lives of the residents.
Oyebanji said his government had fortified the border towns in partnership with conventional security networks, who were synergising with the natives and local hunters to ward off transborder criminals from Ekiti . In a bid to ensure development trickles to the grassroots, the governor promised to deploy the instrumentality of the Ekiti State Chiefs Law to ensure speedy and timely installation of traditional rulers, where there are vacancies.
The stool became vacant, following the demise of Oba Ebenezer Agboola Ogungbemi of Ilisa Ruling House, on April 23, 2021, after which Prince Akinsanmi Ayeni, was selected through a keenly contested selection process. Rejoicing with the community, Oyebanji, represented by the Deputy Governor, Chief Monisade Afuye, urged the monarch to be accommodating, and embrace the spirit of honesty, fairness and equity in dealing with the people.
