Headlinenews.news | Security Alert.
Residents of Ikun- Ekiti in Ekiti State have raised serious alarm following the reported presence of suspected fleeing terrorists spotted within the community under suspicious circumstances.
According to credible local accounts, the individuals were seen with an unusual number of personal belongings, including cooking utensils, clothing, and what witnesses described as weapons.
The group reportedly camped outdoors for several days after allegedly being dropped off by an unidentified truck, with no clear explanation of their purpose, destination, or identity.
Community members, already unsettled by growing insecurity across neighbouring states, expressed panic over the appearance of unfamiliar persons in such a manner.
The fear is heightened by recent arrests of suspected terror elements in nearby Ondo State and other parts of the South-West, reinforcing concerns that fleeing extremists may be attempting to migrate into relatively safer communities within the region.
In response to the distressing development, the traditional ruler of the area has reportedly directed the strangers to vacate the territory immediately, stressing the need to protect local residents and prevent any potential security breach.
Security observers note that the South-West, long regarded as one of Nigeria’s safer zones, must not become a transit corridor or refuge for fleeing terrorist elements escaping intensified military operations in other regions.
Headlinenews.news calls on all communities to remain alert and proactive. Citizens are urged to promptly inform the police, DSS, Amotekun, and other security agencies whenever strange movements or unfamiliar groups are observed.
The recent pardon and return of Yoruba activist Sunday Igboho has also reignited conversations around community mobilisation and local confidence in safeguarding the region through collective vigilance.
Authorities must act swiftly to investigate the situation, identify those involved, and strengthen surveillance to ensure the continued security of Ekiti State and the wider South-West.
The National Patriots Movement expresses deep concern over reports of suspected fleeing terrorists spotted in Ikun-Ekiti, Ekiti State, carrying suspicious belongings including weapons and camping openly within the community.
This alarming development reinforces the urgent need for vigilance across the South-West.
Communities must promptly report strange persons or movements to the police, DSS, and Amotekun.
The South-West must remain secure and united against any attempted migration of terror elements into our peaceful region.
