The Oyo State Government has activated strict emergency internal safety protocols following an executive order issued by Governor Seyi Makinde enforcing a temporary sixteen-hour curfew across ten local government councils. Signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Professor Musibau Babatunde, the protective deployment takes immediate operational effect starting Wednesday, June 24, 2026.
The localized security restrictions run daily from 4 PM until 8 AM for an initial forty-eight-hour period, specifically targeting municipal territories bordering the Old Oyo National Park. The affected frontier councils include Oriire, Oorelope, Irepo, Saki West, Saki East, Atisbo, Itesiwaju, Iseyin, Olorunsogo, and Atiba, where administrative perimeters have been tightened against threats.
Special Media Adviser Dr. Sulaimon Olanrewaju confirmed that relevant state defense commands have been given absolute mandates to enforce total compliance within the designated sectors. The tactical pause allows state and federal security forces to conduct optimized intelligence sweeps, clearing border forest tracks while fully preserving civilian life and public asset security state-wide.
