The spokesperson for the Accord Party Governorship Campaign Council in Osun State, Pelumi Olajengbesi, has alleged that the Inspector-General of Police, IGP, Mr Olatunji Disu ordered the continued detention of a party member, Popoola Alaba, despite investigators allegedly finding no evidence linking him to any offence. Olajengbesi made the allegation during an interview on ARISE News while reacting to Alaba’s arrest amid political tensions ahead of the Osun governorship election. According to him, the allegations levelled against Alaba, particularly claims that he was arrested with firearms, were not supported by investigators handling the case. He argued that if the police genuinely recovered firearms or any incriminating items from the suspect, such evidence should have been made public. Describing the development as troubling, the Accord Party spokesman called on the Nigeria Police Force and the media to publicly disclose any evidence supporting the allegations against Alaba.
