Afenifere worried over DSS alert on planned terror attacks on worship centers

The pan-Yoruba organization Afenifere has expressed significant concern over the recent rise in banditry in the South-West region, following a security alert issued by the Department of State Services (DSS). The DSS has warned that terrorists are planning to attack worship and public gathering centers in Osun State ahead of the upcoming general elections.

Afenifere's National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Jare Ajayi, urged authorities not to underestimate these indicators. He praised President Tinubu's commitment to addressing banditry and terrorism, noting that Defense Minister Matawale reiterated this stance during a visit to Kano. The organization also lamented the growing security crisis, citing recent bandit attacks on Igbeti-Igboho Road and kidnappings in Ondo, Kwara, and Kogi states.

Afenifere remains vigilant, hoping this is not a precursor to more attacks, as similar warnings have often preceded fatal incidents in various regions.
