Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has reacted to reports, alleging that the Lagos state government is deporting alleged miscreants reported to be indigenes of Osun state, from Lagos to the Ilesa area of the State.

In a statement released by Adeleke’s media Aide, both governors have interfaced and have expressed concern over the report. Adeleke has urged Sanwo-Olu to look into the report, and put an end to it if the report were to be true. Sanwo Olu on the other hand has denied ever authorising such an action, and promised an immediate investigation.
