Another 14 northern youths sneak into Osun after interstate travel ban – Official

The Amotekun Corps in Osun, on Sunday, caught at least 14 youth who sneaked into the state from the northern part of Nigeria.


They were caught at Ikire, Irewole Local Government Area.










Reports gathered that although those caught hid themselves in a trailer, they were intercepted at checkpoints manned by Amotekun in Ikire.



Sources in the Amotekun team told our correspondent that many of those caught were seen sweating following the heat from loads packed on them in the trailer.










Confirming the incident to journalists, the Director- General of the Amotekun Corps, Amitolu Shittu, disclosed that his team led the youth back to the Osun-Oyo boundary.


“They were subsequently asked to return to their originating state,” he said as he commended his men for being proactive. Mr Shittu did not disclose the originating state.


The silence on the ‘originating’ states cannot be disconnected from the controversy that followed the arrest of 11 Zamfara indigenes that sneaked into the Osun State on April 30.










The Zamfara government in retaliation said the action of the Osun government then was unlawful.
