TERROR ALERT IN OSUN: DSS WARNS CHURCHES, MOSQUES — “THEY PLAN TO BOMB YOUR WORSHIP CENTRES TO STOP 2027 ELECTIONS”
GREATRIBUNETVNEWS –The Department of State Services (DSS) has raised a chilling alarm — terrorists are plotting to attack churches, mosques, markets and crowded centres in Osun State to destabilise the South-West and frustrate the 2027 general elections.
2027 is already bleeding!
The secret intel was shared on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, during emergency closed-door briefings with Osun Muslim Community leaders and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Osogbo.
Security Chiefs told clerics:
– Plots to bomb worship centres and public places
– Plan to throw South-West into chaos before 2027
– Immediate deployment of night guards, CCTV, vehicle checks, and strict vigilance during prayers.
Pray with one eye open — the enemies of 2027 are already at the gate.
—“TERRORISTS MAPPED OSUN” – DSS INTELLIGENCE—
In a report by Sunday PUNCH, the DSS team deployed from Abuja told religious leaders that terrorists intend to move southward through Kaduna and Jos, targeting the South-West to create tension and voter apathy ahead of the presidential election.
In an audio message sent to imams across the state, President of the Osun State Muslim Community, Alhaji Mustapha Olawuyi, said: “The DSS came from Abuja to Osun to warn us about a plot by some politicians and terrorists to frustrate the 2027 election, and for every one of us to be careful.
“They said they had intelligence that the terrorists would mobilise to the southern part of the country and the South-West, especially to cause mayhem so that the election may not hold or cause apathy.”
A report of the meeting with CAN, signed by Osun CAN Assistant Secretary Ajayi J.K., also stated: “They made it known… that the attackers or the terrorists have mapped Osun State, and that between now and the period of the coming presidential election, they will attack some states.”
—SECURITY DIRECTIVES TO CHURCHES AND MOSQUES—
The DSS outlined specific preventive measures:
—For Mosques—
– No vehicles should be allowed to park close to congregations during Jumat prayers
– Ban sleeping in mosques
– Be wary of “compromised” commercial motorcyclists and herders
– Deploy night guards at every mosque
—For Churches—
– Do not allow strange vehicles to park near church premises due to risk of explosives
– Question visitors before allowing them on church premises
– Be cautious with night programmes so criminals don’t take advantage of darkness
– Extend alert to schools, markets, clubs and viewing centres
Confirming the briefing, Osun CAN Chairman, Pastor John Adeleke, said: “The message is that our people should be security-conscious. If they see anything, they should say it. They also told us to inform school owners to be security-conscious. The government is aware too. God is our divine protector, but in areas where we need to be careful, we want to be.”
Olawuyi also confirmed previous infiltration attempts, saying: “We had, some time ago, sent back some herders, numbering about 200, who flooded Osun from the Ikirun axis. There were also some individuals who came into the state on motorcycles. They didn’t understand our language and we had to send them back. The DSS is doing a very good job in terms of intelligence and alerting the people.”
—2027 ELECTION SECURITY CONCERNS GROW—
The alert comes weeks after INEC released the final list of 18 presidential candidates for 2027, with campaigns expected to intensify.
Security agencies have repeatedly warned that terrorists may shift operations to southern states to create panic and disrupt electoral processes. The DSS said places of large gathering — worship centres, markets and schools — are primary targets.
Both OSMC and CAN said they have cascaded the warnings to blocs, platforms and local leaders across Osun.
As of press time, the Osun State Government and Police Command said they were working with the DSS to tighten security around public spaces ahead of the election cycle
