As the 72hrs ultimatum given to looters in Osun State to return all stolen items gradually draws closer,Governor Gboyega Oyetola has urged all those still in possession of any of the items to hand them over within the next 24hrs.
The Governor stated this while inspecting some of the recovered loots deposited at the parking lot of the Government House, Osogbo.
According to him, only 20 percent of looted items have been returned. The governor, therefore, urged persons still in possession of stolen items to return them within the remaining 24hrs amnesty period.

The governor who said the amnesty period would not be extended assured that those who refuse to return looted items won’t be spared. He said they would be tracked and prosecuted.
“This afternoon I inspected looted items that have been recovered so far. I urge persons still in possession of stolen items to return them within the Amnesty period which expires in 24 hrs. Those who refuse to return looted items won’t be spared; they will be tracked and prosecuted.”
He also warned 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,” he said.
Governor Oyetola added that the state Government would begin its house-to-house search to recover looted items across the state on Thursday.
On the curfew the Governor said ” we’ll meet with heads of security agencies in the State tomorrow, to review the current security situation in the State and thereafter consider relaxing the curfew. The curfew wasn’t imposed to inflict hardship on our people but to return normalcy to the State.”
