A Kara House investigative podcast that exposed the bloody battle between Omo Onile, ruthless individuals who extort contractors, and residents, gained the attention of the Osun state government.
Rasheed Olawale, the Spokesperson for the Executive Governor of the State, said that security agencies have been mobilized to take action against the louts terrorizing landowners and construction workers in the state.
He added that the issue would also be addressed at the coming state security council meeting.
He said, “Let me inform you that this matter was addressed by Mr. Governor last year. Security agencies were mobilized to take action. With this new development, I can assure you the matter will be discussed at the upcoming state security council meeting.”
Kara House investigated how some touts in Osun, specifically Osogbo, have been attacking and extorting landowners and bricklayers. The story was reported by Ademola Popoola.
