The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has revealed that he received a report alleging that some criminal suspects are hiding inside the Osun State Government House.

Disu made the disclosure on Friday during a meeting with Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, at the Government House in Osogbo.
The IGP said he had received several complaints that the governor and some others were unhappy with the performance of the Osun State Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Gotan.

"I have received complaints that you are not happy, and some other people are also not satisfied with the Commissioner of Police for different reasons," Disu said.

He, however, disclosed that the police commissioner also briefed him about claims that some wanted suspects were taking refuge inside the Government House.

"He also told me that some suspects the police are looking for are hiding in the Government House. I asked myself, if that is true, why should suspects be in the Government House?" the IGP stated.

Disu said he had already advised the commissioner on the appropriate steps to take in handling the matter.

He added that reports had also reached him alleging that different political groups were harbouring criminal suspects, stressing that the allegations would be properly handled in line with the law.

The IGP did not reveal the identities of the suspects or provide further details about the allegations during the meeting.

Sheuns:
Isn’t a suspect innocent until proven guilty anymore?

yarimo:
the governor should bring them out from government house, so that the authority can prove them guilty

jchioma:
So what was the governor’s response to the weighty allegations against him? Because harboring criminals is a criminal crime or are governors exempt from criminal prosecution?

Sheuns:
Is the state house a no arrest, or no investigation zone?

Last I remember, only the governor has constitutional immunity.

Jayboi:
As usual, I'm sure this will make front-page cos it's APC sponsored.
Thugs were killing people up and down and you would hardly see the news here but when it's the turn of Adeleke harbouring a criminal, U go amplify it. Bad journalism.

Doing Ur paying masters bidding.

Adeleke for second term. I just hope you will come here and congratulate the entire Osun people by then.

Rocky247:
Osun CP should be changed as he's now highly biased in his duty and I don't think the government of Osun trust him anymore. The appropriate thing now is for IG to change him

lexylaw09:

. don't support criminality anywhere

BluntCrazeMan:
Some other quarters might consider this a fake alert by some people who are trying to distract Adeleke -- now that he is heading into a major election.
