Oyo state governor, Seyi Makinde held an emergency meeting with security chiefs on Thursday following reports of clashes between NURTW rival groups in Ibadan on Thursday.
Those in attendance were Commissioner of Police Shina Olukolu, the General Officer Commanding, 2 Division of the Nigerian Army, Major General Okwudili Azinta, State Commandant, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, Dr John Oyedokun and the Nigerian Immigration Service boss.
The governor who confirmed that he had gotten a report of clashes between rival groups of the NURTW in areas like Beere, Ring road and others reminded the people of his earlier promise to put security of the state as a front burner in his administration, adding that far reaching decisions will be taken at the meeting.
According to a report by The Nation, security issues have been major concern since the inauguration of Seyi Makinde at the Obafemi Awolowo Stadium, Liberty Road, Ibadan, where pockets of violence and reign of terror were recorded at different locations of the venue.
“While many vehicles parked around the stadium were vandalised and looted, many people were also harassed and injured in an ensuing melee between the NURTW rival groups,” the medium reported.
