A group of manual labourers have been spotted illegally dredging sand from the bed of the River Osun around Gbodofon Bridge, Osogbo.
Their dredging activities that have been going on for days drew the interest of DAILY POST and during a visit to the site, the foreman who preferred to be called Wale in an interview disclosed that the dredging of the sand from the river bed was a private venture and a means to financially empower himself and the people working for him.
He revealed that payment is daily as they normally work from morning to evening every day except on Sundays.

Where and when were you born?
I was born at Oluode Aturuku Compound, Osogbo. I am a descendant of Olutimehin. Olutimehin was a co-founder of Osogbo land. My father, Pa Akinrinde Akanbi Elebuibon, was a hunter and a herbalist-diviner by profession. He had six wives of whom my mother was the youngest. My mother had three children – two boys and a girl. My immediate elder sister was an ‘abiku.’
Was there any foretelling to your parents about you and what you would eventually become before your birth?
