The said recommended list of convicted inmates signed by Mr Inyang C.N, an Assistant Superintendent of Corrections on behalf of Controller of Corrections, Osun state Command, did not, in any way or manner, state that, of the 36 convicts granted amnesty, one of them, a herbalist, Kehinde Ganiyu was facing a murder charge. Reacting to the online story, Osun State Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Oluomo Kolapo Alimi, in a statement issued to journalists, described the purported story linking Governor Adeleke to the granting of a state pardon to a murderer as journalistically avaricious and misleading to the innocent members of the public. Alimi stated further that, “Kehinde Ganiyu who was among the prisoners granted pardon was convicted of stealing and not murder as contained in the list compiled by the correctional Centres. “We are, therefore, using this medium to appeal for calm, restraint and understanding, particularly on the part of members of the public in Osun State by dismissing such an online news report as a hatchet job calculated at painting the person and office of His Excellency, Senator Ademola Adeleke, the Executive Governor of Osun State in bad light. “Finally, we are similarly using this medium to, also advise Insight Links online media, and other people with similar notions, if still not convinced about the action taken by His Excellency, Senator Ademola Adeleke, to go to both Ilesa and Ile Ife Correctional Centres for further verification,” concludes the statement.
