Kwara State Government has activated a proactive security measure in schools in parts of the state as part of its wider efforts to guarantee safer environment for schoolchildren.
The measures immediately affect schools in Ifelodun, Ekiti, Irepodun, Isin, and Oke Ero Local Government Areas, underscoring the determination of the government to curtail the activties of kidnappers who may want to use schoolchildren as human shields from renewed security crackdowns.
The measures also cover the boarding schools in Irepodun which could be targets of the criminals who are running for cover amidst widening security operations.
The measure may remain in place while awaiting further security clearance for normal activties to resume.
