Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has alleged that more than 60 Accord Party leaders have been arrested and transferred to prisons in Abuja and Nasarawa despite the existence of federal and state courts in Osun. He recently made the allegation at a peace summit in Osogbo ahead of the August 15 governorship election, and Nigerians have been reacting.
Accusing Gboyega Oyetola of being behind the violence, Adeleke lamented about how his government and supporters had been under siege and attacks for the past three months.
He concluded by blasting the Osun police command for supporting the numerous attacks on his supporters.
His words, “I should have boycotted this peace meeting because of the violence unleashed on Osun State in the last few months, on the directive of Gboyega Oyetola.
Our gathering is to endorse peace but my government and people are facing police-sanctioned violence and intimidation.
More than 60 Accord leaders have been arrested and moved to Abuja, and remanded in Abuja prisons and Nasarawa State prisons, including an Accord candidate for House of Representatives, Hon Alaba.
Why Abuja? We have both the Federal High Court and State High Courts in Osun State, where anyone can be arraigned.
There is no single prosecution or active arrest till date. The perpetrators are known Osun APC thugs with crimes committed in the presence of the police.
Those remanded in prisons should be returned to Osun State, and be charged to courts in Osun State, if the police can show that they have committed any crime.”
