The Osun Police Command Pubic Relations Officer, said she was once a victim of the illegal activities of Omo-Oniles in Osun who go around developing sites to demand for huge money from land owners after all payments have been done to purchase the land must be stopped.

She further said that the Omo-Oniles are so confident of themselves that they even disturb construction on government owned lands.

Speaking on the Osun police command plan to rescue Osun people from unwanted activities of Omo-Onile, the Osun police spokesperson said they have set up special unit which will be dealing with issues relating to Omo-Onile.
