“In the bush, we saw a big plantation of indian hemp of about 20 hectares of land that have grown and on May 21st, I decided to visit the place to see things for myself, and during my visit, I came across the Kabiyesi of Eda Ile, Oba Benjamin Osho who said he was kidnapped along the place sometime in the past. Information equally has it that the same place was where the second in command of Amotekun Corps was murdered in the past”, Said the Commander.

Speaking further, Honourable Oni explained that the Kabiyesi of Eda Ile said he allocated that portion of land to somebody to farm who was later discovered to be the suspect, Mr. Jimoh David.

Speaking with journalists, the suspect, Jimoh David who had earlier confessed to the commission of the offence later denied that his brothers who are now at large were the ones using the farmland without knowing that, it is for purpose they wanted to use it for when he came to meet with the monarch who gave them the place for use.
