Osun APC Demands Arrest After Nephew's Killing
The All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign council for the Osun governorship election has called for the arrest of the assailants involved in the killing of Oladele Ayegbo, the nephew of the council's Director-General, Oluwole Oke. During a press conference in Osogbo on Thursday, Remi Omowaiye, the Head of Media and Publicity for the council, reported that the party has lost approximately 40 members to extrajudicial killings in recent weeks.
He detailed several violent incidents, including the shooting of Ayegbo and another individual, Taiwo Oluwadele, near Oke's family compound in Esa-Oke. Omowaiye accused the governor, Ademola Adeleke, of failing to address the violence, asserting that the attacks were politically motivated.
In response, Oladele Bamiji, spokesperson for the Accord Party, dismissed the APC's claims and urged the police to investigate the crimes within the APC. Governor Adeleke condemned the violence and expressed condolences to the victims' families, directing security agencies to enhance surveillance.
