We stopped another terror attack, they wanted to bomb Govt House — Aiyedatiwa

Police and Amotekun arrested five suspects after intelligence led them to bomb-making materials and equipment, the governor said.

  • On Wednesday, Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa revealed that security operatives foiled an alleged plot by five youths to bomb the Ondo State Government House, with the Nigeria Police Force and Amotekun Corps arresting the suspects.
  • Intelligence reports received several months ago alerted agencies to suspicious activities by the youths, who had gathered bomb-making equipment while staying in a hotel before relocating to a rented apartment.
  • Aiyedatiwa stated the suspects remain in detention while investigations continue to determine the motive behind the alleged plot; security personnel reportedly recovered bomb-making materials and equipment linked to the planned attack.
  • The governor disclosed these security successes Wednesday on Channels Television's Politics Today, shortly after a Federal High Court in Abuja sentenced four persons to death for their roles in the June 5, 2022 attack on Saint Francis Catholic Church.
  • Aiyedatiwa stated the incident demonstrates the importance of proactive intelligence gathering and collaboration among security agencies, as South-West governors continue strengthening regional coordination to address security challenges and protect lives and property.
