“We moved in on questioning majority of them; they said they were from the northern part of the country and others said they are from Ogun State.”
“We profiled them and we found out that they were conniving with some persons in Ose (council area) to be given space for settlement in the government’s forest reserve which makes them illegal occupants of the forests. We are sending them back to where they claimed they came from.”
