Fully paid for. Never delivered. Still missing years later.

Five security surveillance drones procured and paid for by the Osun State Government under former Governor Oyetola have never been accounted for. When Governor Adeleke assumed office in 2022, the drones were simply not there.

Years after Osun State reportedly paid for five security surveillance drones, the equipment remains unaccounted for, prompting Governor Ademola Adeleke to consider acquiring a new fleet to strengthen security operations across the state.
