Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke tells the Inspector General of Police, Tunji Disu, to direct the state police command to withdraw security coverage for local government council officials aligned with the All Progressives Congress (APC) after a Federal High Court ruling in Osogbo. The governor says the court dismisses a case that had been associated with the APC-linked council officials, and he argues that security arrangements should reflect the outcome of the judgment.
Speaking to journalists in Osogbo, Adeleke also calls on relevant authorities to recognise the status of the elected council officials following the court decision. The reports frame the governor’s request as a response to the judgment affecting who holds council offices in Osun State.
Overall, both accounts describe the same development: Adeleke’s instruction to the police to remove security protection from APC-aligned local government chairmen after the Federal High Court’s ruling, emphasizing that security support should align with the court-validated position of council officials.
