Men of the Amotekun Corp in Osun state have foiled attempt by intruders who claimed they were from Northern part of the country to invade the state.
The intruders, who allegedly divided themselves into groups, were intercepted inside different commuter buses, with multifarious machetes, cutlasses, shovels and assorted charms.
While on interrogation, they claimed they were labourers at mining sites in Osun, but could not explain why they came with weapons and assorted charms and were trying to enter into the state illegally.
It would be recalled that the directive by President Muhammadu Buhari and Governor ADEGBOYEGA OYETOLA on border closure, to forestall spread of the dreaded COVID-19, is still in force.
The drivers of the commuter buses also claimed that they were only conveying the ”illegal travellers” from Ibadan, Oyo state capital to Osogbo, in Osun; after the had alighted from trucks coming from the North.
The intruders for the fear of Covid-19 were thereafter sent back to where they came from, by men of Amotekun corps to prevent transmission of of the disease.
Swords, Cutlasses, Machetes and assorted charms, among others were recovered. See pictures below
