The Governor of the State of Osun, Adegboyega Oyetola, has said that there will be no extension of amnesty for those that looted both public and private property under the guise of protest last Saturday.
He warned the looters to return the loots before the expiration of the amnesty period or on/or before Wednesday, saying those who refuse to comply will be subjected to wrath of the law.
This was even as the Governor commended those that have complied with the directive so far.
He stated these while addressing journalists during the inspection of some of the recovered loots deposited at the parking lot of the Government House, Osogbo.
It will be recalled that some miscreants went on the rampage on Saturday, taking the advantage of the EndSARS protest to burgle and loot both public and private properties in the State. This development prompted the Governor to declare 72-hour amnesty period for the looters to return the looted items.
Items worth millions of naira have so far been recovered by operatives of Amotekun, the Joint Task Force and officers and men of the Nigeria Police in Osogbo and some other towns in the State.
Fielding questions from journalists shortly after the inspection, Oyetola said there would be no mercy for those who refuse to return looted items after the expiration of the 72hours amnesty period.
He said law enforcement agencies would begin door-to-door searching of the looted items on Thursday as part of efforts to enforce the law.
“I am happy that some of the looters decided to heed the call within the amnesty time to voluntarily return the loots and items that had been stolen.
“As you are all aware, I gave those who participated in the looting 72hours to return all they have stolen, and this is about 48 hours afer the declaration so, they still have 24 hours more to return all they have looted.
