Osun Commissioner for Environment arrested over shooting at APC rally, Adeleke campaign council alleges bias
Mayowa Adejoorin, the Osun State Commissioner for Environment and Sanitation, has been arrested by the Osun State Police Command in connection with a shooting incident at an All Progressives Congress APC rally in Ilesa. The police spokesperson, Abiodun Ojelabi, stated that Adejoorin was apprehended after tactical officers intercepted a white Lexus 350. According to Ojelabi, a vehicle with registration number OSHAO4 was parked near the rally, and individuals identified as Amotekun personnel allegedly emerged from it and opened fire. The Imole Campaign Council, representing Governor Ademola Adeleke, has reacted to the arrest, accusing the police of bias and alleging that the commissioner is being politically targeted. Pelumi Olajengbesi, spokesperson for the campaign council, claimed Adejoorin was arrested outside Ilesa while traveling to Osogbo and suggested the police were acting on instructions from a federal lawmaker. The council has called on the Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, to intervene, questioning the basis for the arrest and demanding Adejoorin's immediate release.
