According to the Director-General of the Amotekun corps in Osun, Comrade Amitolu Shittu the incident happened on Monday.

He revealed that the inter-state offenders, who divided themselves into groups, were stopped inside the different commuter bus, with multifarious machetes, cutlasses, shovels and assorted charms.

Here's what he said;

“The drivers of the commuter buses also claimed that they were only conveying the “illegal travelers” from Ibadan, Oyo State capital to Osogbo, in Osun; after they had alighted from trucks coming from the North.

“We thereafter sent them back to where they came from, to prevent transmission of COVID-19.”

Comrade Amitolu said the intruders claimed to be labourers at mining sites in Osun when interrogated, but could not explain why they were trying to enter the state illegally, with weapons and different kinds of charms.
