See Me O, I ‘M Not Hiding Any Amotekun Commander -Adeleke

See Me O, I ‘M Not Hiding Any Amotekun Commander; that;s the literal defence from Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke.

He was responding to allegations by the All Progressives Congress (APC) that that he is harbouring Adekunle Omoyele, the Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps, who is wanted by the police.

Omoyele is wanted in connection with the killing of some residents of Akinlalu community, with the Osun APC, in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Kola Olabisi, accusing the governor of shielding Omoyele

“If the news flying around in Osogbo, the state capital, is anything to go by—that Omoyele, one of the crucial suspects in the dastardly act at Akinlalu, has been hibernating in the Government House to evade police arrest—then Governor Adeleke must take responsibility, Olabisi had asserted, adding:

“As a self-acclaimed patriot and believer in the rule of law, Governor Adeleke should, without further delay, hand over the state commander of the Amotekun to the police for them to carry out a thorough investigation into the Akinlalu killings that have become a national embarrassment.”

According to the party, the governor’s earlier commendation of the police in the handling of the investigation into the killings, would amount to lip service if he continued to protect Omoyele.

“It is now the case with his former Chief Security Officer, Omoyele, who has been out of circulation since his alleged assassination attempt story was deflated by the police.”

In a counter to the above howeer, Governor Adeleke, describes it as “another example of a losing party struggling for relevance.”

Responding through his spokesman, Olawale Rasheed, the governor stated:

“The Akinlalu matter is a question of law and order, and the Inspector-General of Police has acted on the matter,” the statement read. “The police are conducting an active investigation, and our government will not intervene or interfere.

“I caution our people to avoid the temptation to politicise the unfortunate incident.

“We should allow due process to take its course without let or hindrance. The opposition’s allegations are unfounded and baseless.

“The Osun APC, in want of direction and strategy, has grown to be a constant purveyor of fake news

“We will not succumb to blackmail or surrender to a party that is more interested in destabilising the state than delivering on good governance.”
