Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke’s Imole Campaign Council says more than 60 leaders and members of the Accord Party are still in police detention. The campaign organisation made the claim ahead of the 15 August off-cycle governorship election in Osun State, in which Adeleke seeks re-election on the Accord Party platform.
The campaign council says the arrests are illegal and is calling for the “immediate release” of the detained party members. Both outlets report the figure of over 60 detainees and present the statement as coming from Adeleke’s campaign organisation, without providing further details on the circumstances of the arrests or police statements in response.
While the coverage is largely aligned in describing the claim and its timing relative to the election, both stories frame it as a dispute raised by the governor’s campaign rather than an independently verified account, and they do not specify where the detainees are held or what charges, if any, are involved.
