He appealed to the state government to intensify efforts at protecting the forest reserve, saying that the dastardly act was affecting the resources due to the government coffers.

He alleged that illegal tree fellers and loggers were now armed with sophisticated weapons, hence the need for government to put machineries in place to protect the forest reserve.

Odebiyi added that the criminals were now promoting the use of arms in the forest reserve and “we do not want a situation where we will now have a forest full of criminals in Ogun”.

He said that the forestry institutions were  committed to protecting the natural heritage of the country.

“Omo Forest Reserve is the only place that the state and Nigeria can boost of a rich forest resources.

“Because of the unique richness of the forest reserve, United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) designated an area in the forest reserve as a natural heritage area to be managed by the world body under the name “Man and Biosphere Reserve.

“It is a world attraction, unfortunately the state government has not been able to protect the place effectively.

“The Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria which is based in Ibadan, there is a letter from the institute informing the state government of the illegal activities in the forest.

“We are doing our own, we are blowing the whistle and we hope the government will follow up,” he said.
