The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress(APC) has slammed Governor Ademola Adeleke, over his silence on the alleged extra-judicial killings of some residents of Akinlalu town by officials of the state Amotekun.
It would be recalled that at least four people were reported killed when operatives of Osun Amotekun stormed the community located people of Akinlalu, in the Ife-North Local Government Council Area of the state.
While the Osun Amotekun claimed the people were killed during a gunfight with some hoodlums when its operatives were ambushed in the town, sources in the community said the victims were innocent people.
In a statement by its director of media and information, Kola Olabisi, Osun APC said Governor Adeleke’s actions showed that he was not prepared to investigate the matter and bring the perpetrators to book.
Olabisi said, “But rather than sweeping to action to ensure justice for the affected citizens, the bumbling governor of Osun State was dancing around the state with no plan to bring succour to the mourning parents and community.
“To cover the security scandal and escape public backlash, the distraught Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) government in the state mobilized some of their frustrated fanatics to pollute the media space with false information regarding the local government allocation, thinking that the falsehood would distract the public and save the government from the attendant embarrassment.”
