Makinde warns monarchs, says foreigners fueling insecurity in Oyo

Oyo state governor, Mr Seyi Makinde, has said some foreigners without proper documentation are contributing to the rising insecurity in the state.

The governor warned traditional rulers against allocating land to any foreigner without proper documentation in their domains, saying such would not be tolerated.

Makinde, who said this in a statement by his chief press secretary, Mr Taiwo Adisa, stated that his administration would ensure that foreigners in the state were properly documented very soon.

The governor had in December said fighters from neigbhouring Mali, were making serious attempts to cross into the state from the Saki border.

Makinde also said Okada riders would be registered to be able to monitor them but threatened that their operations would be regulated if their leaders failed to get them registered.
