The governor who made the appeal in response to reported planned terrorist attacks on places of worship in Osun state called on the members of the public to alert security agencies if they notice an influx of strange faces especially across the border communities.

My good people of Osun state  It is with deep sense of gratitude and appreciation that I address you on this occasion of the 35th anniversary of the creation of our dear state.

Ikire Killings: Osun Accord Demands Arrest and Prosecution of Irewole DPO, Bamidele Olatona

Image
The Accord, Osun state chapter, has vehemently condemned the utterly barbaric, unprofessional, and unprovoked shooting incident at the Naira and Kobo Garage in Ikire earlier today, which resulted in the tragic deaths of a commercial bus driver, Saheed Akinrole, and an innocent passenger.  Eyewitness accounts confirm that the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Irewole Division, Mr. Bamidele Olatona, personally stormed the public garage and opened fire sporadically into a crowd of unarmed civilians.  There was no crisis or conflict at the said park. There was no take over bid by any group. The normal park operation was ongoing when the DPO launched the attacks. Such reckless, bloodthirsty, and animalistic behavior from a senior law enforcement officer tasked with protecting lives is an absolute disgrace to the Nigeria Police Force and strongly suggests an officer who lacks the mental stability and emotional balance required to carry a firearm. This lethal outrage is ...
