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.
In a statement signed by Funke Egbemode, the Commissioner
for Information and Civic Orientation and obtained by DAILY POST 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.”
