On the 6th/7th of July 2026, the residents of Ugbegun farming communities and other nearby settlements received a threatening letter of bloodshed from the Fulani terror gang informing the communities of their planned attack on Ugbegun communities.
This have caused panic, worries and restlessness among the inhabitants of these communities and neighboring farming settlements, informing necessary security stakeholders, activists, local chiefs, traditional rulers, members of local vigilante and others to be aware and take necessary proactive security and traditional measures to combat the threat before becoming a reality.
Some communities in Kwara South also received similar letters from these terror groups before they attacked them (according to source). Many school of thought have popularized the Art of war principle " Attack is the best form of Defense "
It is high time the communities along Ugbegun/Ekusi Oyo/Ojana/Ago Oyinbo/Amenhinti form a joint security taskforce working together in supporting the vigilantes, involving Amotekuns and other established security apparatus to comb the forest and set up a security post in this area, to watch the movement of people during the day and night, question unrecognized faces and arrest when necessary for further interrogation.
I want to use this medium to appeal to other concern citizens to please support the local vigilantes with necessary financial aid to procure firearms, motorcycles, communication gadgets and other modern day security equipments, as they are the first responder to any security breach in these areas.
Security function should not be neglected only for the police and armed forces of Nigeria, but the duties and responsibilities of everyone to play their parts in ensuring a peaceful, thriving and violent free communities in Owo local government area of Ondo state and Nigeria at large.
