The Osun State Government has mobilized security agencies to enforce a newly enacted law designed to eliminate illegal revenue collection and thuggery within the state’s motor parks.

The move signals a direct intervention by state authorities to address long-standing grievances regarding unauthorized levies and violent conduct that have plagued transportation hubs in the region.

By engaging security forces, the government aims to ensure strict compliance with the new regulatory framework, targeting individuals and groups responsible for extorting drivers and passengers.

This legislative and enforcement action is intended to restore order and safety to the motor parks, which serve as critical transit points for residents and travelers across Osun State.
