The Osun State Government has advised residents of the state to be security conscious as they move around the state.
The government also advised the citizens to avoid patronising commercial motorcyclists, mini-buses and buses without registration numbers.
The advise was contained a statement signed by Funke Egbemode, the Commissioner for Information and Civic Orientation on Wednesday.
The state government revealed that it became aware through intelligence reports of infiltration among the ranks of commercial transport operators in the state by some criminal elements who are now attempting to harm unsuspecting citizens using motorcycles and mini-buses.
According to the statement, “The government, through intelligence reports, is aware of the infiltration of the ranks of commercial transport operators in the state by some criminal elements who are now attempting to harm unsuspecting citizens using motorcycles and mini-buses (korope) especially.
The video of a young lady making the rounds who was fortunate to escape the plot confirms the report.
“We are therefore calling on residents of the state to be more security-conscious as they move around the state, and especially avoid motorcycles, mini-buses or buses without registration numbers.
“Citizens are also advised to report, through the state’s emergency line, all suspicious movements or presence around their communities or places of residence.”
