The Director General, Amotekun Corps, State of Osun, Comrade Amitolu Shittu, has appealed to members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) to cooperate with the Amotekun enforcement team to achieve an effective policing of the state borders.
Comrade Amitolu Shittu made the appeal when he led his team to effect border closure directive of Governor Adegboyega Oyetola at the Osun-Oyo border, through Iwo town. During the operation, many commercial vehicles, which entered the state of Osun illegally from Oyo state, were sent back to Ibadan; while a recalcitrant commercial driver was arrested and handed over to the DPO, Iwo division.
The Amotekun DG, who frowned at the uncooperative attitude of some members of the transport unions, also called on the Nigeria Police and other security agencies to see the effective implementation of Governor Oyetola’s directive as a collective responsibility to contain the spread of the dreaded Coronavirus.
