He said: “My men on duty in Ilesha arrested the northern youth around 9:30pm. When we interrogated them, they told us that they were going to Sokoto. They said they were going through Ede and Ogbomosho before they would join the expressway leading to Sokoto.
“We are sending them back to the head of their extraction in Ilesha. When we contacted their head about their arrest, he was not happy about what the youth had done. He said he had warned them against travelling. They will face the full wrath of the law.”
