Going from Osogbo to Ikire on Friday, our correspondent observed fewer vehicles on the ever-busy road which connects the South-West region to other parts of the country.
Vehicular movement on the Ife-Ibadan Expressway was noticeably light on Friday and Saturday, a development attributed to the incessant attacks by armed bandits on commuters and motorists on the highway.

Going from Osogbo to Ikire on Friday, our correspondent observed fewer vehicles on the ever-busy road which connects the South-West region to other parts of the country.

From Gbongan Junction to the boundary of Osun and Oyo states, there were four police checkpoints manned by heavily armed riot police.

Before Wednesday’s attack, which claimed the life of an employee of the Atakumosa West Local Government Area, Adenipekun Samson, who was shot in the neck by some gunmen suspected to be Fulani bandits, there had been an increase in the cases of kidnapping and armed robbery on the road.
The deceased, who was confirmed dead in a hospital as a result of the gunshot, was said to be travelling in an unregistered Toyota Corolla car driven by one Ismaila Olayiwola, going towards Ibadan, Oyo State, when the incident happened.

Two commercial drivers, who spoke with PUNCH on the issue at Naira and Kobo Junction, Ikire, attributed the light vehicular movement on the road to the frequent robbery attacks.

One of the drivers, identified simply as Adenekan, said the reduction in the volume of traffic was as a result of the increase in the attack on travellers by bandits.

He said, “The number of vehicles coming from Osogbo and Ife towards Ibadan has reduced. The attacks by bandits cause this. We can only hope that the perpetrators will be arrested to restore people’s confidence. Despite today being a weekend, people are not travelling through this route. People are afraid to use this road.”

Where is Yorubawarrior when you need him most?

Efrybody is now afraiding for his/her head o...lest someone mines or harvests it

LOL ! They're now banditry , not longer herdsmen....

Please read

It's time to speak up...the Yoruba and ibo need to stop this name calling and bickering.

The devil is at our doorstep with all his weapons. If nothing is done, death is certain. We are more educated than this.

Please my brothers and sisters, this seed of discord isn't letting us see the true picture.

Death traps have been set in the south (east and west alike)...the Fulani herders from the north alone can't carry the agenda out that's why others from other countries are being imported.

This is just the beginning of the second term...of all the news and info being received, our security agents have turned a blind eye don't you see we are set for doom and bloodshed??

Let's use our education to seek for solutions or to cry out with one voice so this can end before it starts, else, we will all share a part in the destruction that's just around the corner.

We can't continue like this...let it not be said that while we had time to fight the terror at hand, we used that time for frivolities... Losing ones life is not a joke...I've lost mine before *smiles*. Jokes apart, we need to face the issue at hand and stop pointing accusing fingers...the northern part of the country is feeling its own share daily...it's gradually coming down south. How do we stop it?

God bless us!

Wisdom is avoiding the roads, avoiding Buhari brothers

Foolishness is thinking buhari means well for SW by risking travelling on the road of herdsmen

Your claim is not true.
