CSOs Demand Investigation into Aide's Killing in Osun
Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) are demanding an investigation into the death of Oyeyemi Olalekan, also known as “Emir Ajagungbade,” who was shot dead on September 13, 2026, in Ile-Ife amid a transport union leadership crisis in Osun state. The groups, including the League of Peace Ambassadors, Humanity and Human Rights Advocates, and the Nigeria Peace and Security Advancement Network, expressed concerns over escalating political violence and factional rivalries, questioning Governor Ademola Adeleke's handling of the situation.
They emphasized the need for a thorough and impartial investigation into the circumstances surrounding Oyeyemi's death. The coalition urged police to investigate individuals linked to the dispute, specifically naming Wakeel Nurudeen (alias “Alowonle”) and Olayemi Ojo (alias “Sibi”).
Alowonle has denied involvement, claiming he was in Osogbo during the incident. The CSOs also called for a review of past politically motivated killings in Osun and action against illegal firearms among political factions.
