Osun State Governor, Gboyega Oyetola, has issued an ultimatum to those who looted government and private property and warned them to return all items taken within 72 hours.
He spoke to Newsmen on Sunday during an assessment tour of some of the locations attacked and said failure to abide by the directive will lead to the prosecution of anyone arrested for the act.
The governor told the culprits to surrender all stolen items to the security agencies, traditional rulers, local government chairmen and community leaders close to them.
He noted that defaulters would be tracked and brought to justice, while those who embraced it would be forgiven.
Oyetola sympathised with victims of the lootings and promised them government’s support.
“What I witnessed here today is not a question of hoodlums, but armed robbers. They have removed all the machines here. It is very unfortunate. I can say categorically that End SARS protest is not what we are seeing here today. This is pure looting”, Oyetola fumed.
If not?
ReplyDeleteNothing would happen to them. All na wash.
Deletehas he returned his own looted finds?
ReplyDeleteVery good question!
DeleteBut does it now mean for thieves should steal people's hardwork. He has said the right thing if not anarchy will continue.
DeleteHe has said the right thing, but didn't do the right thing to stop it from happening in d first place. They never thought of "anarchy" when they hire thugs, equipped them and unleashed them on peaceful protesters. See enhhh, no one is supporting theft and looting, but he shouldn't come out and be talking as if he is not part of the initial problem.
DeleteSeriously are these people serious? Return what sef

What is happening simply shows that there is hunger in the land. Our politicians should hide their faced faces in shame, they have failed us
ReplyDeleteIs it not meant foe the masses!? Return what???
ReplyDeleteHe has the audacity to ask the masses to return the palliatives meant for them? Even if they found boxes of dollars, it’s for them. You are the one that needs to get off taxpayer welfare and return all your loot, move without personal police like a lot of politicians in developed countries, pay for personal security, stop stealing and giving our money to foreign governments with houses you stay in 7 days a year and bank accounts secretly kept that is taken over by foreign governments. While at it, look in the mirror, the person you see is the guilty party! All those who got big bags of noodles, rice etc, don’t return anything. It was yours to begin with! If your box was filled with dollars, it’s still your commonwealth.
ReplyDeleteTo those saying they distracted with the warehouses, correct me if I’m wrong. I thought the Lekki killings ended the protest and that the warehouses were identified by their trusted loaders afterwards. I may be wrong in the sequence. The murder of peaceful protesters shocked everyone and ended the protest temporarily. My use of English is deliberate. As long as these folks act like lords over the people they steal daily from, there will be another protest.
