‘I didn’t hide Amotekun commander’ – Adeleke slams APC
Governor Ademola Adeleke has dismissed allegations by the All Progressives Congress, APC, that he is harbouring the Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps, Adekunle Omoyele.
Omoyele is being sought by the police in connection with the killing of some residents of Akinlalu community by operatives of the security agency.
In a statement by the Osun APC spokesperson, Kola Olabisi, the governor is being accused of shielding Omoyele from arrest.
Olabisi described the alleged act as condemnable, irresponsible, wicked, and unpatriotic.
He challenged Adeleke to demonstrate a genuine commitment to justice by assisting the police in their investigation and handing over the Amotekun boss to security operatives.
“If the news flying around in Osogbo, the state capital, is anything to go by— that Omoyele, one of the crucial suspects in the dastardly act at Akinlalu, has been hibernating in the Government House to evade police arrest—then Governor Adeleke must take responsibility.
“As a self-acclaimed patriot and believer in the rule of law, Governor Adeleke should, without further delay, hand over the state commander of the Amotekun to the police for them to carry out a thorough investigation into the Akinlalu killings that have become a national embarrassment,” the APC said.
Responding, Governor Adeleke, through his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, dismissed the allegations as baseless, saying they were another example of a losing party struggling for relevance.
Adeleke said his administration has faith in the police investigation, insisting that his government would not interfere in the process.
“The Akinlalu matter is a question of law and order, and the Inspector-General of Police has acted on the matter.
“The police are conducting an active investigation, and our government will not intervene or interfere.
“I caution our people to avoid the temptation to politicise the unfortunate incident. We should allow due process to take its course without let or hindrance.
“The opposition’s allegations are unfounded and baseless. The Osun APC, in want of direction and strategy, has grown to be a constant purveyor of fake news,” he said.
