Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke orders the arrest of suspects linked to the reported killing of his close associate, Olamilekan Ajagungbade, also known as “Emir Ajagungbade.” Reports say Ajagungbade is shot dead in Ife, Osun State, on Sunday, in an incident authorities and observers connect to a dispute involving leadership of a local motor park.
Adeleke’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, says the governor directs the Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Zungura, to arrest those involved and help restore peace across affected motor parks. The governor also asks warring groups to vacate the parks and says there will be no exemptions for suspects.
While both outlets describe the killing and the governor’s arrest directive, the extent of the details differs. Nigerian Eye reports an alleged confrontation involving the chairman of Ife Mini-Bus (“Síbí”) and adds that Adeleke announces the reintroduction of a Park Management System statewide and an upcoming executive order to formalize it. Daily Post Nigeria focuses more on the arrest order, without the additional policy and incident specifics.
