Robbers Disguised as Passengers Steal Motorcycles and Kill Okada Riders in Osun State
The Osun Police Command has warned commercial motorcyclists to be cautious of criminals posing as passengers to steal their motorcycles. Yemisi Opalola, the command’s spokesperson explains the warning was needed due to the increase of motorcycle cases and to ensure the safety of the state and citizens.
“The police command is using this medium to caution motorcyclists, especially the commercial ones (Okada), to be cautious of passenger(s) they carry or who employ their services.
The modus operandi of the criminals involves hailing commercial motorcyclists and luring them to isolated areas late at night where they are forcefully dispossessed of their motorbikes.
”The unsuspecting riders are often offered enticing fares that they cannot refuse.
“These attacks in some cases have left the motorcyclists severely injured or even killed.” she said.
Opalola said that CP Mohammed Abba has enjoined the leadership of the Okada Riders Association in the state to continually sensitise its members to avoid being victims of this trending crime.
“The command also advises them to report any suspicious passenger(s) and their activities to the nearest police station.” she added.
Damilola Mike-Bamiloye, the son of the renowned Christian filmmaker and evangelist Mike Bamiloye, recently took to Instagram to pay tribute to his late mentor and father figure, Korede Are, whom he affectionately referred to as “Daddy Korede.”
In an emotional post, Damilola remembered him as a dedicated servant of God who sacrificed comfort, recognition, and even his own needs to further the gospel.
He expressed deep admiration, saying Daddy Korede tirelessly ensured that the word of God reached the most remote corners of the world.
Damilola, himself a notable figure in Christian entertainment, known for his work with Mount Zion Faith Ministries, mentioned how Daddy Korede embodied selflessness.
He described him as someone with a “heart of pure gold,” a man who lived with unwavering faith and integrity until his very last moments.
According to him, Daddy Korede didn’t seek fame or praise; instead, he remained committed to his calling, consistently honoring God with his gifts, passion, and humility.
As Damilola mourns, he also rejoices in Daddy Korede’s “glorious finish”—a life he says was celebrated by God Himself. Daddy Korede may have departed, but his legacy lives on, continuing to influence countless lives within the Christian community.
