Adeleke Calls Emergency Meeting Over Osun Attacks

On Monday, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke summoned an emergency security council meeting in response to a recent wave of attacks in the state. The meeting, attended by service commanders, focused on addressing the threats posed by thuggery and ensuring public safety.

Governor Adeleke's spokesperson, Olawal Rashe, stated that the meeting aimed to develop strategies to prevent future incidents and maintain public confidence in security agencies. The urgency of the meeting was underscored by the political tensions surrounding the upcoming governorship election on August 15.

Last Friday, the All Progressives Congress (APC) accused Adeleke's supporters of vandalizing their campaign billboards, a claim that Adeleke attributed to hoodlums allegedly working for the APC. Oluremi Omowaiy, head of the media and public committee for the Osun APC governorship campaign council, described Adeleke's allegations as politically motivated and false.
