The spate of looting across the country and the consequent state of insecurity was on the mind of the Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of South-West, Me Leye Oyebade, when he visited Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, over the looting spree in the state.

The governor , who disclosed the visit on his Twitter handle stated that the DIG led senior police officers on a visit to him.

Oyetola said the DIG assured him of the readiness of the police to restote law and order in the state.

The tweet read, ” This evening, I received a team of senior police officers led by DIG in charge of SouthWest, Leye Oyebade, who assured me of @PoliceNG’s readiness to intensify efforts to ensure peace reigns in Osun, following the wanton looting & destruction of govt & private property by hoodlums.”
