Similarly, on Thursday, October 22, armed hoodlums attacked a warehouse where COVID-19 palliatives are stored at Ede, Osun State and carted away some items.
Oyetola called on the hoodlums to surrender all looted items to security agencies, traditional rulers, local Government Chairmen and community heads in their respective areas.
He noted that those who refuse to surrender the items within the stipulated time would be tracked and brought to justice, while those who embrace it would be forgiven.
Governor Oyetola sympathised with the victims of the mayhem and also assured that the Government would support them.
He said: “What I witnessed here today is not a question of hoodlums, but armed robbers. They have removed all the machines here.
"It is very unfortunate. I can say categorically that #EndSARS protest is not what we are seeing here today. This is pure looting and it is all over.
"As a Government, we will look at the possible ways of bringing the victims back to life through our efforts and intervention of the Federal Government."
