Ogun tightens school security to ensure students' safety

The Ogun State Government announced enhanced security measures around schools as part of the Safe School initiative. Commissioner for Education Abayomi Arigbabu reassured parents after rumors of banditry and an unverified kidnapping in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area led to temporary closures of some primary schools. The government deployed additional security personnel across all 20 local government areas, working with the police, NSCDC, and Amotekun Corps. The commissioner urged parents to avoid panic and allow children to return to school.
