SHARE
  • Violence has erupted in Osun State, resulting in the deaths of a former council chairman and six others.

  • The crisis was triggered by a Court of Appeal ruling allegedly reinstating APC-elected local government chairmen and councillors.

  • The PDP and APC have traded accusations over the violence, with the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, blaming the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Gboyega Oyetola, and some security agency heads.

A former chairman of Irewole Local Government Area, Mr. Aderemi Abbas, and six others were killed in violence that erupted in Osun State on Monday.

The crisis was triggered by a contentious Court of Appeal ruling allegedly reinstating APC-elected local government chairmen and councillors.

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, had raised an alarm on Sunday, alleging a conspiracy led by the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Gboyega Oyetola, and some security agency heads to enforce the ruling.

Adeleke urged the public to hold Oyetola and the state’s security chiefs accountable for any ensuing violence.

“It is heartbreaking that we lost our people in Irewole, Isokan, and Ola-Oluwa local governments. The Chairman for Irewole Local Government, Hon. Remi Abass, was killed while crossing the Ibadan-Ife expressway on his way to resume at the council office,” said Jamiu Olawumi, immediate past Special Adviser on Education to the former governor, Adegboyega Oyetola.

The PDP Director of Media, Oladele Bamiji, stated that the party lost five members and had over 50 injured across the state.

“In Boripe, particularly in Iragbiji and Aagba, two PDP members were gruesomely murdered, and over 20 sustained injuries while preparing for a rally,” Bamiji said.

The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, ordered additional tactical squads to Osun State to restore law and order.

“The Nigeria Police Force has condemned, in strong terms, the incidents that have disrupted peace and safety in the state, and vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice,” said Force spokesperson Muyiwa Adejobi.

Afrobeat star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, criticised the Osun State Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Abba, for the crisis in the state.

“Mr Commissioner, respect the rule of law!!! I will post you every day everywhere, Mr man!!! Try me,” Davido wrote on his X (formerly Twitter) handle.
