Akinlalu killings: I will not interfere in police investigation, says Gov. Adeleke

The Executive Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke has vowed to steer clear of any form of interference with the ongoing Police investigation surrounding the killing at Akinlalu Town.

In a statement shared on his X account on Sunday, the Governor hinted that the State Police Command will unravel the unseen hands behind the killings.

Police investigation team was deployed by the Inspector-General of Police following a petition against the Amotekun Corps alleging extra-judicial killings at Akinlalu town, in Ife-North Local Government Area of the state.

Recalled that Amotekun operatives killed four persons and wounded eight others after storming Akinlalu town allegedly to recover locally-fabricated weapons collected by a suspect, which attracted public outcry in the state.

“Let me make it clear again, I will not interfere in the ongoing police investigation.
“The matter is one of law and order, and the Inspector General of Police has taken charge. We must allow due process to take its course without political interference. I urge everyone, especially the opposition, to refrain from politicizing a tragic incident that demands justice and compassion,” he said.

Governor Adeleke urged the people of the State to remain stay focused on the real task of building a better, safer, and more prosperous Osun State for all.
