Gov Adeleke's Media Aides Seek Court Protection Against Alleged Police Harassment

Media aides of Gov Adeleke from Osun State Government have approached the Federal High Court in Osogbo seeking judicial protection against alleged persistent harassment by the Nigeria Police Force. The aides filed a suit listing the Inspector General of Police and the Police Service Commission as respondents, citing violations of their fundamental rights guaranteed by the Nigerian Constitution.

The application alleges police interference in the aides' official duties, intimidation, threats of arrest, and possible detention without lawful justification. The aides claim these actions are part of a broader pattern to suppress state media officials.
