1 / 2

The Oyo State Government has pulled down a two-storey building and two bungalows in the Gbenku area of Ibadan. Authorities acted after security agents uncovered a large quantity of arms and ammunition on the premises. Commissioner for Public Works and Transport Mojeed Mogbonjubola said Governor Seyi Makinde ordered the demolition to send a strong message against crime and kidnapping. He urged residents to report any suspicious activity and called on landlords to screen tenants carefully.

It's curious that a residential building and two bungalows hid such a large arms cache without anyone noticing earlier.

Tearing down the whole building seems like an overreaction when securing and investigating the premises could have yielded more insights.

Authorities should establish a community reporting channel so residents can alert security officials about unusual activities before they escalate.
