As part of the road coverage plan, Abiodun also explained that drones would be deployed, which would allow security agents to monitor and observe the activities taking place near the road.
He said the gesture was to neutralise kidnappers abducting people on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, particularly on the Ogun section of the busiest highway in the country.
He added that the two-state governments had gone ahead and cleared both sides of the road.
Abiodun said this on Tuesday, during the meeting with the management of an Abuja-based Newspaper in his office.
He disclosed that the state in conjunction with its Oyo State counterpart has set up a joint security team to beef up security along the expressway.
He said “We set up a joint security team with the Oyo State Government because we found out that the majority of these incidences are right at the border between us and Oyo State, they take advantage of that area as a blind spot.
