Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke calls for visa bans and economic sanctions against political leaders he accuses of sponsoring or enabling political violence in the state. According to multiple Nigerian outlets, Adeleke frames the move as part of a “zero tolerance” approach to violence in politics and says some opposition and ruling-party figures are linked to killings and election-related unrest. The reports describe Adeleke raising the issue ahead of upcoming polls, including an August 15 governorship election referenced by Daily Post Nigeria, and also in the context of wider political activity leading to 2026 elections. In the accounts, Adeleke also identifies specific targets in his allegations, including figures associated with the APC and, in one report, former governor Gboyega Oyetola and others. The governor discusses the proposals while engaging with international stakeholders: Daily Post Nigeria says he speaks during a meeting with a delegation from the British government in Osogbo. Coverage also notes that Adeleke’s calls for sanctions and travel restrictions are paired with criticism of political parties and individuals over alleged violence, without any final determination by authorities being reported in these summaries.
