The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has interfaced with his Lagos State counterpart, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, over a report of alleged deportation of Osun indigenes from Lagos to Ilesa area of the state.

An online platform had on Saturday published a story about several luxury buses which conveyed hundreds of youths and dropped them off at a location within Ilesa.

The medium also reported that the youths were allegedly rounded up from Ajah, TBS and Island areas of the state and gathered them inside an uncompleted building at the Makoko police station before moving them to a forest in Ilesha town in Osun State

In a statement, Adeleke through his Spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed on Monday, said he confirmed the report through an investigation team set up to confirm the veracity of the story by the state government.

Adeleke said the state team reported that eyewitness accounts confirmed the dropping of the youths in several luxury buses by a team suspected to be from Lagos State.

“The state’s report showed that the youths were systematically dropped at Ilesa-Akure Express junction, Breweries; Ilesa – Ibodi – Iginla to Ife Express junction; Osun Ankara Express junction; Imelu Express junction; and Iperindo Express junction.”

In his interaction with the Lagos State Governor on the incident, Governor Adeleke also expressed shock at the development.

He urged Governor Sanwoolu to look into the matter and put an end to it if the report is true.

“I spoke with my brother, Governor Sanwo-Olu on the matter. He too was surprised and he denied ever authorizing any such action.

“Governor Sanwoolu has promised an immediate investigation to unravel the facts of the situation. The Lagos team will update us as quickly as possible.

“I am subsequently directing our security agencies in Osun to mount surveillance in and around Ilesa to track the deported youths and their destinations.

“I will update our people on this development. I urge residents to be calm while the security agencies carry out surveillance.”

Lagos cannot be depopulated by sending people back to their states of origin. If you want to reduce the population of Lagos, Bola Tinubu should create opportunities everywhere in the country. Stop taking everything to Lagos.

It beats my imagination why a particular people can just exist for the sole aim of beating their dry chests to make them feel better, even when hunger is removing their wrapper from their waist.

Lagos is not better than any state in Nigeria, no better roads, no better electricity, no better business climate, no better quality of living or security, but some people exist in this world by hyping the city, even to the point of telling bare faced lies to make them sleep better at night.

Online, everyone who is from there who are ashamed of their states will claim Lagos, because of the online hype, the lies and the vain attempts to rub it in everyone's face that the place is better

Sending people that voted him into power home...

Those youths will now feel betrayed

Deporting them creates more problems for the states they're sent to. There should be some sort of agreement on the procedure, all states should have that

Ndi Lagos belongs to all Yorubas

Stranger dey pursue stranger

Lmao.

It seems the advantage and disadvantage is what makes Lagos.

The advantage is that Lagos attracts the best and bright people with ambitions.

The other side is that Lagos attracts the wrong ones also, whether they be criminals or lazy people.

Lagos will always have unproductive people as they will always move from their respective states.

Helinues and other Lagos attachee by force, I hope you are not among the deportees?


The real owners of Lagos on the beat.

The generality of Yvrub*s are not shouting because they're waiting for when it would reach our turn, so that they'd say they were also deported.

We will definitely raise so much dust for the world to hear if they bring it towards our side. We're not gentle!

Are you done crying?

Na family affair

A non indigenous state governor forcefully and illegally evicting fellow non indigenous Yorubas that voted him but now constituting nuisance from the state he governs. Wonders will never end.

Most of these agbado thugs on nairaland will soon be deported back to their various states. Tinubu included. Time for the true Lagos Indigenes to take back their land.

Wonderful!!!

The masses are always stupid cheering nonsense!! When they threatened to deport igbos, some agbado munching nitwits cheered!!

Now, you want to disagree with Sanwo olu on this

Weldon Sanwo olu!! More grease to deportation balls!

Politics ehh..

e no concern me

Inside the Ronu, there is another Ronu.

They might b those displaced from shanties and taking back to dia different states

It cant b osun state alone

But kudos to Jackson adeleke

But I thought Sahara reporters are fake news peddlers what am I seeing here

...I thought we are all Lagosians

"They relocated them to a forest in Osun" as per 'ndi ofia' wey dem be, chai, APC! . A gathering of bees is called a swarm. A gathering of birds is known as a flock, and a gathering of baboons is called a Congress. Now we know why some were deported back to the forest they came from!

ok

How can we be deporting each other in this same country. And we're selling the one Nigeria stuff to ourselves.

Ordinary SA and Kenya self dey deport us self.
