Daily Times recalls that the OPC leader Aare Gani Adams last week alerted the world that some terrorists have occupied the forest in Kisi, a town in Oke-Ogun, adding that the criminals were attacking and kidnapping residents.
His announcement was confirmed by Kisi residents, which made security operatives and unconventional local security personnel to take a decision on how to rid the forest of criminals.
In a statement on Monday, however, both the police command and OPC claimed that they launched an attack against the bandits Sunday evening, adding that it apprehended five with arms and ammunition.
The statement by its Oyo State Coordinator, Mr Rotimi Olumo, said OPC members moved into the park following the alert by Aare Gani Adams.
