Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has alleged that some youths planned to bomb the Ondo State Government House, but the plot was foiled through intelligence gathering.
Aiyedatiwa made the disclosure during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, June 4, 2026.
The governor said intelligence reports received about four months ago uncovered suspicious activities by some youths who were planning an attack on the seat of government.
According to him, the suspects initially lodged in a hotel before relocating to a rented apartment, where they continued preparations for the attack. The location was later raided by operatives of the Amotekun Corps in collaboration with the police.
“Following intelligence reports, the police and Amotekun moved in, raided the location, arrested the suspects, and they remain in custody,” Aiyedatiwa said.
The governor added that investigations are ongoing to establish the motive behind the alleged plot.
“So much work is being done. Security is one responsibility that leaders carry that is not so visible to everybody.
It is only when there is a lapse that it will look as if the government has not been doing enough. We have been doing so much,” he stated.
