Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has rejected calls by the Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to interfere in the ongoing investigation into the killings in Akinlalu community.
Adeleke, in a statement issued on Monday by his spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, reiterated his trust in the ongoing police investigation to unravel the details of the unfortunate killings.
He warned against politicization of what he described as a matter of law and order.
Adeleke also dismissed allegations melted against its administration by the APC, labelling them as baseless and unfounded.
“The Akinlalu matter is a question of law and order and the Inspector General of Police has acted on the matter. The police is conducting an active investigation. Our government will not intervene or interfere.
“I caution our people to avoid the temptation to politicize the unfortunate incident. We should allow due process to take its course without let or hindrance.
“The opposition’s allegations are unfounded and baseless. The Osun APC in want of direction and strategy has grown to be a constant purveyor of fake news.
“We will not succumb to blackmail or surrender to a party that is more interested in destabilising the state than delivering on good governance”, the governor was quoted to have said.
