Security threat: Osun Polytechnic warns students to stay indoors

The management of Osun State Polytechnic, Iree, has issued a security alert, advising students and members of the Polytechnic community to remain indoors from 9:00 p.m. daily due to possible security threats in the area.

The directive was contained in an internal memorandum dated October 7, 2027 and signed by the Registrar, R. I. Adebayo, on behalf of the management on Tuesday.

According to the memorandum, the alert followed intelligence reports suggesting the presence of suspected Fulani herdsmen around Iree and its environs, which may pose a potential threat to the safety of residents.

“The entire Polytechnic Community, especially students, are hereby informed to stay indoors anytime from 9:00 p.m. in Iree and its environs.

“This alertness and security awareness arose based on intelligence gathering from the community on the possible presence of some Fulani herdsmen which may likely pose possible security threat that is likely to endanger your movement,” the memo added.

The management urged students to exercise caution and avoid unnecessary movements at night and urged them to promptly report any suspicious activity or perceived threat to the institution’s Chief Security Officer via the phone numbers 07033166585 and 07034557451 for immediate assistance.
