Zamfara Indigenes Hiding in Trucks to Enter Osun – Oyetola
Osun State Governor Gboyega Oyetola, has raised alarm over alleged influx of Zamfara indigenes into the state.
Speaking on Wednesday through his Chief of Staff, Adeyanju Abdullah Binuyo, the Governor said the indigenes mostly youths who hide in trucks conveying essential goods to the state have been tracked down and would be sent back to their state. He also said he has mandated Amotekun corps to mount surveillance on all entry points to monitor all trucks bringing essential goods into the state “till they offload their goods and immediately escorted out of the state.
“Government is aware of a huge influx of non- Osun residents into the state, especially from Zamfara. They were coming majorly through the Ondo axis, accompanying trucks that are carrying food materials purportedly to be sold around the South West generally.
“The intelligence that we’ve gathered in the last few days is such that they usually have two or a maximum of three people attached to a truck to assist in discharging the goods. But now we have sometimes ten of them hidden among the goods,” he said.
