Governors of Southwest states are reorganising the security arrangement to stave off another terrorist attack.
This follows the June 5 attack on St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo, Ondo State by those described by the Federal Government as aided by the Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP).
Forty people were killed and 61 others were injured in the attack.
After a virtual meeting at the weekend, governors of Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti and Ondo states resolved to hold a physical meeting on a new plan to secure the Southwest from such invasion and killings.
The meeting resolved to tackle terrorism vigorously to prevent a repeat of the Owo killings.
They also directed the regional security outfit, Amotekun, to contain the influx of Okada riders into the six states.
