Adeleke Demands Release of Osun PDP Chairman Sunday Bisi

Following the detention of Sunday Bisi, chairman of the state Peoples Democratic Party chapter, during voting in the Osun governorship election, Governor Ademola Adeleke has demanded his release. Through a Saturday statement issued by spokesperson Olawale Rasheed, Adeleke denounced the detention as unlawful use of police power and a violation of democratic norms.

Security operatives apprehended Bisi at his Ilesa home Saturday afternoon, moments after he returned from voting, according to reports. The governor noted that authorities transported Bisi to an undisclosed location without providing transparent justification.

Adeleke contended the action aimed to suppress PDP activists and disrupt the electoral process. Addressing the incident as political intimidation during this pivotal election period, Adeleke expressed alarm at both the absence of clear reasoning for the apprehension and the secrecy surrounding Bisi's location.

The arrest transpired while vote tallying continued across Osun State. Reports consistently documented the arrest's timing, location, and the governor's public reaction.

Musician David Adeleke initially disclosed the incident via social media, noting police had charged Bisi with circulating on polling day. Both the apprehension and Adeleke's call for release reflected broader disputes about electoral administration in Osun.
