“Generally, I want to place it on record that Ondo State is peaceful and community-friendly, investment-friendly, and farmers are encouraged to go to their farms as the Amotekun rangers are already in the farms across the state, especially in the Government Forest Reserves to ensure that there are no infringements.
“The uniqueness of today’s parade is that apart from very little cases, about two or three kidnapping cases at the borders, that is the Akunu-Kogi-Ondo border, where we had two cases of kidnapping and in Ose border-Edo-Ondo border, where we had one case in the last two weeks, we could say that the entire 18 Local Government Areas are at peace.”
