NO INFLUX OF BOKO HARAM IN ONDO, govt insists

Ondo State government has denied rumours of influx of Boko Haram insurgents in some parts of the state, saying the state remains one of the most peaceful in the country.
Commissioner for In­formation, Hon Kayode Akinmade, while reacting to the rumour, said the se­curity of the state was not threatened as rumoured.
Speaking with journal­ists in Akure, Akinmade said the threat of Boko Haram insurgents in the state was a ploy by some unscrupulous elements to create tension and atmosphere of fear among the people,
       
              The commissioner who insisted that the state re­mains the safest and most peaceful in the country, noted that there was no record of    insurgency in any part of the state.
He added that the police and other security agen­cies in the state often hold security meetings to avert insecurity in the state.
Akinmade stated that the state governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko ap­proved all security meet­ings held in the state.
According to him “it is misleading and unfor­tunate that some people will allude the reason for a regular meeting on se­curity matters in the state to the imaginary influx of Boko Haram mem­bers.
