‎Osun Decides: Senator Fadahunsi fingers Adeleke in murder of Wole Oke’s nephew, calls for IGP’s intervention

‎The Senator representing Osun East Senatorial District (Ife/Ijesa), Senator Francis Adenigba Fadahunsi, has condemned the gruesome murder of the nephew of Hon. Wole Oke, Director-General of the APC Campaign Council, describing the incident as a disturbing escalation of politically motivated violence in the state.
‎
‎Fadahunsi also accused the Accord Party and agents allegedly acting in support of Governor Ademola Adeleke of orchestrating attacks against members and supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC), while allegedly portraying themselves as victims.
‎
‎In a statement issued on Thursday in Ilesa by his Head of Media and Public Enlightenment, Omole Olusegun Omo-Osodi, the senator expressed deep sadness and concern over what he described as the rising wave of politically motivated attacks and killings across Osun State.
‎
‎According to Fadahunsi, the alleged violence has resulted in the deaths of several APC members and supporters, particularly in Osun East, while the Accord Party and Governor Adeleke continue to give the impression that they are on the receiving end of attacks.
‎
‎He said, “Yesterday, our grief was compounded by the gruesome murder of the nephew of Hon. Wole Oke, the Director-General of the APC Campaign Council.
‎
‎“This brutal killing represents a new low in what appears to be a desperate attempt to intimidate and silence the people of Ijesaland.
‎
‎“I find it profoundly disturbing that Governor Adeleke continues to create a false public impression that the APC is attacking the Accord Party. The facts, however, speak for themselves.
‎
‎“Nearly 25 APC members in Ijesaland have reportedly lost their lives in these coordinated assaults, while, to the best of our knowledge, no Accord Party member has been reported killed or fatally injured in similar circumstances.”
‎
‎Fadahunsi further alleged that several associates of Hon. Emmanuel Olusanya Omirin in Atakumosa East Local Government Area were attacked and injured.
‎
‎“In Atakumosa East Local Government, about five close associates of Hon. Emmanuel Olusanya Omirin were also brutally attacked and injured by these same elements,” he alleged.
‎
‎The senator called on the Inspector-General of Police and other security agencies to urgently investigate the reported attacks, identify and arrest those responsible, as well as investigate the alleged sponsors of the violence.
‎
‎He warned that failure to act decisively could further worsen the security situation in Osun East.
‎
‎“I call on the Inspector-General of Police and other security agencies to immediately investigate these incidents, arrest the sponsors of these violent thugs, and restore order to Osun East before the situation deteriorates further,” Fadahunsi said.
‎
‎He added that those responsible for the attacks would ultimately face justice, saying, “The long arm of the law will soon catch up with all perpetrators of these heinous crimes.”
