Our Forests Are Now Occupied by Terrorists; Nigerian Governor Cries

Nigerian Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has alerted Nigerians of the heavy presence of terrorists in Nigerian forests.
His cry came the same day the National Assembly also said majority of forests in Niger State are populated by insurgents.
Akeredolu said this when members of the All Saints Church, Jericho, visited him in Akure.
Akeredolu is the Chairman of the Southern Governors’ Forum.
His state was attacked two weeks ago when terrorists killed about 42 persons at the St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo.
Those were buried last Friday.
Speaking with his guests, Akeredolu said, “We have terrorists in Nigeria. We need the world to assist Nigeria. If Nigeria doesn’t want it, Ondo State wants it. They still attacked somewhere in Ogun State recently. There are terrorists lurking in our forests.”
The Governor harped on the need for Churches to install CCTV as part of the security measures to prevent the reoccurrence of the Owo terror attack.
Arakunrin Akeredolu thanked members of his Church for deeming it fit to pay the state a condolence visit all the way from Ibadan.
“I belong to a church that I am very proud of. And that church deemed it fit at this time in our state to pay a condolence visit. I thank you”, the Governor said.
Earlier, the chairman of the Council, Dr. Onnuola Adewunmi, who commiserated with the Governor and the people of the state in general over the Owo massacre, assured that the church would intensify prayers for the state.
“Sir, you could trust that your church has always been praying for you. You could trust that your church has always supported you in prayers on numerous occasions. This one really overwhelmed us, that such a heinous crime could be committed in our land”, he added.
