“The Osun State Police Command is using this medium to assure the general public, especially the Media houses of adequate security measures put in place to forestall any breakdown of law and order in the state as the Police Command is aware of what is happening in our neighbouring state concerning the Yoruba Nation Agitators who attempted to hijack one radio station in the early hours of today 28th May, 2023.
