The Osun Loot Recovery Committee on Sunday said it had so far recovered items worth about N242,777,710 that were looted from various public establishments and private individuals in different parts of the state.
The committee headed by the Deputy Chief of Staff to the Governor, Mr. Abudullahi Binuyo, was given the task of recovering property looted by hoodlums after the #EndSARS protest was hijacked in the state.
Speaking with newsmen, the secretary of the committee, Samson Owoyokun, who said the committee would submit its report this week, noted that some of the recovered property had been returned to the owners, while more people that lost items to the looting spree were being awaited to claim their lost items.
Owoyokun said the committee received complaints from 250 individuals and government agencies that lost property to hoodlums, adding that 66 items ranging from motorcycles, deep freezers, air conditioners and furniture had so far been recovered.
He said, “If you claim you are the owner of any property, firstly, you must provide sufficient proof of ownership like receipt or pictures. After that, we will refer you to the state. We have people at the state Criminal Investigation Department of the Nigeria Police Force, where you will undergo further scrutiny.”
