The Oyo State House of Assembly convened on Tuesday for another plenary session, mduring which various matters and issues were deliberated upon.
In light of the crisis that occurred at Sumal Food Ltd in Ibadan on Monday, July 1, 2024, resulting in the loss of two lives, the House expressed strong disapproval of the unruly behavior of some expatriates and their mistreatment of Nigerian employees.
Consequently, the House has directed the Oyo State Commissioner of Police and the Head of Operation Burst to submit a comprehensive report on the incident and ensure that justice is served.
