There were reports of attacks on motorists by suspected kidnappers on the expressway on Monday while another case of attacks was reported on Thursday night on the Ibadan-Ijebu Ode road.
Special Adviser on Security to the Oyo State governor, Mr Fatai Owoseni, while speaking with news reporter confirmed that the joint technical committee on security for the two contiguous states decided to strengthen security on the expressway and other roads for the protection of the people.
While disclosing that increased motorized patrol would start today on the identified roads, he noted that spots such as Ibafo and Mowe would witness increased security presence.
