Fresh Attacks on Accord, Public Properties: Arrest Perpetrators Before Residents Resort to Self-Help — Gov Adeleke Directs Police Authorities

 OSOGBO — May 11, 2026

Governor Ademola Adeleke has directed the Osun State Police Command to immediately arrest suspected political thugs allegedly linked to the All Progressives Congress (APC) following renewed attacks on public infrastructure and Accord campaign materials across Osogbo.



The Governor issued the directive amid escalating tension in the state capital, where incidents of billboard vandalisation and destruction of public properties have reportedly intensified.

Reacting to the latest wave of attacks, Governor Adeleke condemned what he described as the apparent protection being enjoyed by the perpetrators, warning security agencies against allowing the situation to degenerate into lawlessness.

The Governor particularly commended a team of policemen who reportedly foiled an attempt to destroy statues at the Abere Roundabout, but stressed that security intervention must move beyond passive responses to decisive arrests and prosecution of those involved.

“I hereby direct the Commissioner of Police to immediately effect the arrest of Asiri Eniba and his gangs who are terrorising the state. They moved around in Sienna buses, Hilux jeeps and motorcycles, shooting sporadically. The police know them and the state command should do the needful,” the Governor stated.

Describing the attacks as criminal and dangerous to public peace, Adeleke warned that continued inaction by security agencies could provoke citizens into taking the law into their own hands.

“These political criminals are now attacking public properties. Security agencies should prevent a scenario in which untamed thugs will set the State Secretariat and other government buildings on fire,” he warned.

The Governor further called on all security agencies operating in the state to rise above partisan considerations and urgently enforce law and order before the crisis spirals out of control.

“I call on all security agencies to rise to this urgent task of enforcing law and order and preventing anarchy. The police authorities must not wait for the public to resort to self-help before taking potent action,” Adeleke added.

The statement was signed by the Governor’s spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed.

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...

Assassination Attempt: Police can’t deny what’s on their desk, says Amotekun boss

  The Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps , High Chief Dr Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele , who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital following an attempted assassination on his life on Monday, has strongly refuted the claims made by the Osun State Police Spokeperson regarding the incident. Reacting to the statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who claimed that investigations had not commenced because the Commander had not provided evidence of the attack, the Amotekun boss expressed deep disappointment, labeling the police response as insensitive and misleading. "It is shocking that a police spokesperson would say there is no evidence of an attack when the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ota-Efun Division — the nearest jurisdiction to the incident — was immediately informed," the Commander said. "Officers from that division visited the scene the same night, assessed the damage, evacuated the vehicle, and advised me to seek ...
