“Oriire Incident: Some Issues Still Classified, The Office of The NSA Did Some Certain Things, They Should Explain That to Nigerians” — Gov. Makinde

Oyo State Governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde, has said that several issues surrounding the Oriire security incident remain classified, insisting that the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) should explain certain actions taken during the crisis to Nigerians when the information is eventually declassified.

Makinde stated this during an interview with Arise Television, where he addressed questions surrounding the incident and explained why he would not want to politicise security matters.

According to the governor, a significant amount of information relating to the Oriire incident is still classified, making it inappropriate to publicly discuss certain details until the relevant authorities make them available.

“Some of the Oriire issues, a lot of the information concerning the incident, are still classified. When they are declassified, the Office of the National Security Adviser should explain certain things they did to Nigerians,” Makinde said.

He maintained that his position was informed by the sensitive nature of security issues, stressing that he would not turn the incident into a subject of political controversy.

“That is why I will not politicise the security issues,” the governor stated.

Makinde’s remarks indicate that he expects the Office of the National Security Adviser to provide explanations to Nigerians on certain actions taken during the Oriire incident once the information surrounding them is cleared for public disclosure.
