Speaking at a press conference in Osogbo on Thursday, the council’s head of media and publicity, Remi Omowaiye, urged the state government to step aside and let security agencies conduct a thorough, unobstructed investigation.

Key Points from the APC:

• Interference Allegations: Omowaiye expressed strong concern that Governor Adeleke was actively trying to secure the release of individuals detained during the raid at the SSG’s home.

• Call for Dismissal: Arguing that shielding suspects undermines the rule of law, Omowaiye stated that Governor Adeleke must fire Igbalaiye to prove he does not condone criminality.

• Praise for Law Enforcement: The campaign council commended the Osun State Police Command and the Inspector-General of Police Special Squad for their professionalism during the operation.

Adeleke Campaign Dismisses Allegations as “Politically Motivated”

In a swift response, Jamiu Olawumi, the Director of Strategic Communication for the Imole Campaign Council, brushed off the APC’s demands, labeling the accusations as cheap political attacks meant to tarnish the SSG’s reputation.

Key Points from the Adeleke Campaign:

• Character Defense: Olawumi defended Igbalaiye as a dedicated patriot, a trained lawyer, and a respected native of Osogbo whose stellar background cannot be easily undermined.

• Dismissal of Critics: He characterized the opposition’s outcry as “wailings” from political rivals who lack the matching stature, achievements, or commitment to service delivery that the SSG possesses.

Background Context

Police operatives raided the SSG’s Osogbo residence on Wednesday, leading to arrests including that of the wanted suspect. While Igbalaiye was subsequently released by the police on Thursday, law enforcement authorities confirmed that investigations into the matter remain active.
