SEQUEL to a trending online video where some none-Oshodi indigenes were issued with letters of indigeneship, the executive chairman of  Oshodi-Isolo Local Government Area, Otunba Kehinde Almaroof Oloyede has ordered a thorough investigation into the disturbing video.

Oloyede, while ordering an investigation into the matter, vowed that all elements or persons behind the alleged criminal act would be made to face the full wrath of the law.

The council boss in a statement by his media office on Wednesday condemned in its entirety the issuance of the letter of indigenes to none indigenes.

Recall that in the early hours of Wednesday, there emerged a video of persons who are meant to be recruited into the Nigerian Army who were caught with fake indigeneship letters emanating from some local governments in Lagos. According to the persons in the video, the certificates were obtained from an unnamed cyber cafe in Lagos State.

The council chairman fumed at such a criminal act saying no stone will be left unturned to unravel the elements behind the issuance.

“I received the report of the unfortunate trending video, where a letter of indigeneship were purportedly issued to some non-indigenes, which has placed the local government in public glare. As the Executive Chairman, I have ordered that a thorough investigation be carried out and that all those involved be handed over to security agencies for prosecution.”

“Let me use this opportunity to inform our people that we shall not in any way sweep this unfortunate matter under the carpet, as we want to unearth those behind this to serve as a deterrent to others who will want to drag the noble name of our council in disrepute. We will do the needful, we will not leave any stone unturned.”
