Reacting to the incidents, Alli described the alleged attacks as unwarranted and barbaric.

He called on the Oyo State Government and security agencies to take steps to protect residents and prevent further acts of political violence.

“As the chief security officer of the state, Governor Makinde carries the responsibility to protect all residents, irrespective of their political leanings.

“The SSACO calls on security agencies to fish out these perpetrators of violence and bring them to book in order to serve justice to the victims and also serve as a deterrent to violence in our dear state,” he said.
