The Insecurity in Igboho and Igbeti is not a new thing and this before the Oriire LGA, Abduction happened, people who travel along that Kishi axis sometimes get kidnapped and they are usually being taken to the mining site in the Old Oyo National park.
The mining activity going on there makes it a camping trip for terrorists to use, it is a direct hub for monetary values and also people being kidnapped is a value added incentive for them as criminal elements. The FG and State needs to take a decisive actions in the old Oyo National park, from the traditional rulers, to the Chairman of the Illegal mining site (Alhaji Sidi), to the youths in that community, there must also be a permanent ban of Motorcycle alone that corridor pending the threat levels have been resolved.
Engineer,you know what KPU and the security teams should have done since the Oriire incident is to tighten the entrance of the Town and restrict movement transportation to the town at night but no they’re arresting peoples that stay outside by 10,as if that’s the solution
@0Salbas Tbh they control our securities,and you know what anytime security wanted to do something inside the town they will be the one to carry their vehicle at front,I’m not the fan of this their current leadership btw.
And I heard they’ve arrested those killers from deputy governor
@0Salbas Not saying KPU should be one to come to rescue?
But there energy they’re Chanel to corporate with security teams to arrest peaceful people at night in town should be used to tighten our borders because they’ve that power to do so
UPDATED: Fresh Attack on Kishi-Igbeti Road Claims One Life
A suspected bandit ambush around 9:30 p.m. on Friday, June 12, 2026, along the Kishi-Igbeti corridor in Oyo State has left an electricity worker, Moshood Kayode ("Mr. Kay"), dead and several others injured after gunmen opened fire on a moving vehicle.
The latest incident adds to growing concerns over insecurity around the Old Oyo National Park, which residents say is increasingly serving as a haven for kidnappers and armed gangs.
The area has witnessed a series of violent incidents in recent months, including the abduction of four travelers, the killing of five park rangers in January, and the reported detention of kidnapped schoolchildren and teachers within the forest.
Residents are demanding urgent military and police operations to flush out criminal elements and restore security along the Kishi-Igbeti axis before more lives are lost.

The news about the attack is correct and has been confirmed, the Deputy Governor of Oyo State visited Kishi to assess the security situation of that place and the areas include Kishi and Igboho.
