Oyo State governor, Mr Seyi Makinde, has said the state is also faced with the issue of banditry, going by constant efforts by bandits from Mali to get into Nigeria through the Saki international border.
Makinde made this assertion during a visit to the palace of the Okere of Saki, Oba Khalid Olabisi, where he met with traditional rulers from Oke Ogun Zone.
Noting that various parts of the state and the country will be at risk of attacks if such foreign bandits are allowed entry, Makinde called for vigilance from Saki residents to debar such entry via the Saki border.
