Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has directed the Board chairman of Osun Amotekun, AIG Wale Abbas Rtd., to cooperate with the police investigation on the killings at Akinlalu community.
Adeleke equally promised to compensate the victims of the September 30 incident, which claimed the lives of four people.
The Governor spoke on Monday at the Palace of Alakinla of Akinlalu, Oba Israel Oluwabusola Aborisade, during a visit to the community.
The Governor commended the people of Akinlalu for their patience, promising that those responsible for the killings will be brought to book.
He said, “I am truly sad. I was in the United States when the unfortunate incident happened. I cut short my medical stay. I arrived late yesterday, and I called my team. We need to be here to empathize with the victims.
“I can tell you the perpetrators will face the full wrath of the law. There won’t be any sacred cows. Any Amotekun officer needed for interrogation by the police is to cooperate with the investigation. I have directed the Board chairman of Amotekun security service, AIG Wale Abbas Rtd. to cooperate with the investigation by the police”, the governor asserted at the palace.
Reinforcing updates from the police, the Governor said suspects in the dastardly operation are being arrested by the police even as he urged the town people to supply names of Amotekun operatives they know are involved in the incident.
“I commend the town for sustaining peace. We will compensate the families of the victims. We will also build a police station for the town as requested. Akinlalu is our town, and the plan of my administration is to fast-track its development. Above all, suspects will face the law”, the Governor noted.
