Speaking at a press conference at the Correspondents’ Chapel in Osogbo, Kehinde Ayantunji, representing the committee, claimed that these individuals were brought in from Lagos and are being accommodated within the Government House by Governor Ademola Adeleke and his team.

Ayantunji identified the alleged leaders of the group as “Olowe” and “Iberu,” asserting that their purpose is to disrupt the electoral process in Osogbo and parts of Egbedore if the election results do not favor the ruling party.

He stated, “As I’m speaking to you now, we have intelligence that a large number of political thugs have been mobilised into the government house. In the last two hours, they have been moving in and out, and our intelligence has confirmed that most of these people are not from this State.”

He further provided specific details of vehicles allegedly used to transport the individuals into the Government House, including a Dark Ash Lexus Jeep (KRD207IS), a Toyota Corolla (AKD 795 GR), a red Volkswagen Golf (AGL719), and another Dark Ash Lexus Jeep (KRD 210 KS). Ayantunji maintained that the APC possesses pictorial evidence to substantiate these claims.

Detailing the alleged mission of the group, Ayantunji stated that intelligence reports indicate the thugs have been mobilized with funds and ammunition to destabilize specific areas, including Ward 5 in Osogbo Local Government, and Wards 4 and 8, as well as the towns of Okini, Ido-Osun, and Ofatedo in Egbedore Local Government.

He called on the public, the international community, and security agencies to hold the ruling Accord Party (A) and Governor Ademola Adeleke accountable for any violence.

“We have to inform the members of the public, and we have to call on the security agents that we have been saying this, but it appears that security agencies are helpless,” Ayantunji added. “Therefore, we are telling the international community, to the security agents in Nigeria, and to all stakeholders that have anything to do with the Osun election, that if anything happens to our members tomorrow, or any electorate, Governor Ademola Adeleke should be held responsible for shielding political thugs in the government house.”
