Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of Osun State has said there will be no extension of amnesty period for those that looted public and private property under the guise of protest last Saturday.
He warned the looters to return the items before the expiration of the amnesty period on or before Wednesday (today), saying those who refused to comply would face the wrath of the law. The governor hailed those who have complied with the directive.
He was addressing reporters on Tuesday during the inspection of some of the recovered loot deposited at the parking lot of the Government House, Osogbo.
“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 hours,” the governor said.
“Those who refuse to return looted items won’t be spared; they’ll be tracked and prosecuted,” Oyetola added.
On the curfew, the governor said, “We will 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,” he explained.
