Osoba’s security men intercept drone flying over ex-gov’s home, arrest owners

Former Governor of Ogun State, Olusegun Osoba, has alleged breach of security after a drone, which allegedly flew over his Abeokuta home, was intercepted.

Two persons, who operated the drone, were apprehended by security operatives attached to the former governor’s residence.

Osoba’s aide, Adekunle Adeyemi, said the suspects, a lady and young man, were caught Tuesday afternoon, after the drone was shot down.

Adeyemi, in a statement he signed, noted that the suspects could not give coherent explanation for their action.

Osoba was said to have arrived Abeokuta on Tuesday from the United Kingdom for a private meeting ahead of Friday’s presidential primary of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The statement reads: “This will be another series of breach of security of Chief Osoba’s private security.

“Few years ago, unknown persons invaded part of the compound and took reasonable time to dig out buried armored cable. This was done in most professional manner.

“It would also be recalled that sometimes ago, two bungalows within the premises were vandalized by unknown hoodlums.

“Another breach was when insulting graffiti were written round the fence of Chief Osoba’s house, not too long ago.

“Those involved in the latest action have been handed over to an arm of government agencies for investigations”.
