The Osun State Police Command has declared five persons wanted over their alleged involvement in the recent spate of political violence that has claimed several lives in the state.
The command’s spokesperson, DSP Abiodun Ojelabi, in a statement, said efforts are being intensified to track and arrest the suspects linked to attacks that led to loss of lives and destruction of property.
The wanted persons were named as Dauda Olamilekan, also known as Emir; Taoreed, alias Small Rugged; Adetunji Kamoru Olatunde; Saka Afees, also known as Terror; and Adeyemi Saheed.
The Command urged residents with useful information on the whereabouts of the suspects to come forward and assist with investigations, and also called on the public to report suspicious activities to the nearest police station.
Political tension has escalated in parts of Osun since June, with multiple violent incidents recorded.
Victims killed during the period include teenager Olapade Ezekiel in Ilobu; Comrade Abdullateef Olamilekan; 70-year-old Kazeem Akande in Osogbo; Ajayi Aderogba in Esa-Oke; and Eluyera in Ikire.
