Looters Rushing To Return Stolen Items In Osun – Gov’s Aide

In response to the 72-hour ultimatum given by Governor Adegboyega Oyetola,  many of those who looted properties from government facilities and private businesses are already returning the items carted away

Oyetola had given the looters a 72-hour-ultimatim to return the looted properties or face the wrath of the law.

He gave the ultimatum on Sunday , during an on-the-spot assessment of some of the properties vandalised in some parts of the state.

The Chairman of the the Loots Recovery Committee and Deputy Chief of Staff to the Governor,  Abdullah Binuyo, said the state government had received  a sizeable number  of  the looted properties in about 10 local government areas of the state.

Binuyo said, “In just 24 hours, many of the people in possession of looted properties are already responding to the Governor’s amnesty directives. The response has been encouraging and we commend the people who have  responded so far.

“Governor Oyetola, a man whose word is his bond, has promised amnesty to those who have surrendered looted properties in their possession so far. But there are still so much more out there yet to be recovered.

“The state government is hereby imploring those, who still have looted properties in their possession to surrender all they have illegally carted away to the security agencies, traditional rulers, local government chairmen and community leaders of their respective domains.

“The state government wishes to reiterate that those who refused to take full advantage of the amnesty would be tracked and brought to justice”, Binuyo  said.
