Gunshots in Osogbo After Emir Ajagungbade's Killing
On Sunday, gunshots were reported in Osogbo, the capital of Osun State, following the killing of Olalekan Oyeyemi Ajagungbade, known as "Emir," a factional leader in the state's motor park crisis. Ajagungbade was shot dead at Mayfair Motor Park in Ile-Ife after a disagreement with officials of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).
His death triggered unrest, with supporters reportedly firing shots into the air while riding motorcycles through various neighborhoods, including Oja-Oba and Jaleyemi, causing panic among residents. Governor Ademola Adeleke responded by ordering the immediate arrest of those connected to the killing and directed security agencies to restore normalcy.
He announced plans to reintroduce the Park Management System to address the ongoing leadership tussle over motor parks in the state. The governor emphasized that there would be no sacred cows in handling the incident and urged residents to remain calm.
