According to him, Olorunsogo local government is one of the major council areas in Oke Ogun being affected by the activities of kidnappers, bandits and illegal miners who have continuously hibernated in federal government reserves in Igbeti and its environs

Hon Olayanju said many of the reported cases of kidnapping, banditry and illegal mining in the council were carried out in the forest reserves and remote areas which are usually difficult for Amotekun operatives to quickly respond to, due to the distance from their main office to affected areas.
