Adeleke’s governorship campaign council in Osun State petitions the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), alleging misuse of police powers ahead of the upcoming governorship election. According to reports, the campaign asks the NHRC to intervene over what it describes as politically motivated arrests, human rights abuses, and police harassment tied to election activities. The campaign also calls on the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) to assure the public of police neutrality and to address concerns about police actions in the run-up to the poll. One account links the complaint to alleged developments involving the reinstatement of a commissioner of police following a transfer, while both sources frame the matter as part of wider complaints about the conduct of security personnel during the election period. The NHRC is presented as the body the campaign approaches to record the allegations and seek redress, with the campaign urging the IGP’s involvement. Both reports emphasize that the petition is filed with less than two weeks remaining before the Osun election.
