Osun State Governor, Gboyega Oyetola, has sent a warning to all those who looted items from various state-owned properties to return them.
The Governor urged them to return the items or be faced with a forceful confiscation as the state is planning to commence a house-to-house search on Thursday. using the support of security agents.
According to the Governor, about 20 percent of the looted items have been recovered as he begged those holding the rest of the looted items to to take advantage of the hours left in the amnesty period, adding that there would be no extension.
The governor expressed the state Government's resolve to apply the full wrath of the law on all those still keeping the looted items.
The Governor was quoted as saying, “For us, this voluntary return of the of loots is a welcome development.
The intention is to assist the various owners of these items to have the opportunity of getting their properties and belongings because we believe strongly that it is going to be a big setback for them to have all these properties lost.”
“What they should realise is that, there are a lot of video clips and video coverage for all the looting that took place in the state. The implication of this is that there is no hidden place for anybody that looted anything in Osun.
“So, it is in their interest to voluntarily return all the items or face the wrath of the law after the expiration of the 72hours. We are not going back after this period. We are going to go from house to house to retrieve the looted items.”
Recall that the past week has seen hoodlums in their numbers attacking and looting public and private properties in the state following the #EndSARS protests against police brutality.
