Akinlalu Killings: There’ll Be No Sacred Cow, Follow Rule of Law — Adeleke Tells Police

Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has affirmed his administration’s zero-tolerance stance against injustice, declaring that no individual, regardless of status or connection, will be spared if found culpable in the recent killings at Akinlalu, Ife North Local Government Area.
‎
‎The government’s declaration comes amidst the arrest of operatives of the Amotekun Corps by the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) of the Nigeria Police Force over the recent killings.
‎
‎In a statement signed by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, on Friday, the governor commended the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, for the prompt response to the tragic incident.
‎
‎The governor assured the police of his full cooperation and urged all security agencies involved to ensure a thorough and transparent investigation, guided strictly by the rule of law.
‎
‎“There will be no sacred cow. No one or group, no matter how highly placed or connected, found to be culpable in one way or the other should be spared from facing the full brunt of the law,” Adeleke declared.
‎
‎While commiserating with the victims and their families, Adeleke emphasized that justice must not only be done but must also be seen to be done.
‎
‎He cautioned security operatives against any form of impunity or abuse during the investigation, stressing that the rights of innocent citizens must be protected within the bounds of the law.
‎
‎“I will not condone violation of the law or any act of indiscipline. In this matter, the law must take its course,” the governor warned.
‎
‎Adeleke further urged all stakeholders, particularly the police, the Department of State Services (DSS), the Amotekun Corps, and other security agencies, to maintain peace and order while the investigation progresses.

Ok good decisions from the State government.

There are indications that the Osun State government is set to sack the Commander of the state Amotekun Corps, Adekunle Omoyele, following the tragic incident that happened at Akinlalu village, a community in Ife-North Local Government Area.

Government sources told OSUN DEFENDER that there is likely to be a change in the leadership of Osun Amotekun, with a source noting that Omoyele may not survive the latest incident.

OSUN DEFENDER reports that operatives of Osun Amotekun Corps last Tuesday invaded Akinlalu Community and shot some residents, reportedly killing four people.

The incident, which led to public condemnation of the mode of operations of the Corps, also led several people to demand the arrest and prosecution of those operatives who perpetrated the act, as well as the sacking of Omoyele.

Apart from those who were reportedly shot dead during the incident, at least 10 other people sustained gunshot injuries.

The leadership of the Amotekun Corps in the state had earlier said those killed had engaged its operatives in an exchange of gunfire.

The Corps said its operatives were ambushed by hoodlums, who had gone to Akinlalu to retrieve two rifles forcibly taken away from its operatives.

Speaking with OSUN DEFENDER, an aide to Governor Ademola Adeleke who does not want his name in print because he was not authorised to speak on the issue, said Omoyele might be sacked by the state government.

The source noted that the government sees Omoyele as someone who has been consumed by power, a development that is reflecting on the personnel of the Amotekun Corps.

“I can tell you that it is being discussed internally. Omoyele might be sacked due to the latest development. It is evident that people no longer have trust in his leadership, and the governor won’t allow something that can disrupt the peace being enjoyed by residents.

“Since he assumed office as Amotekun Commander, a lot of unpleasant incidents have happened and we all know that everything has a limit.

“The Akinlalu incident is an unfortunate one. Even though he might not know anything about it but he is the boss and he should take responsibility for whatever happens.

“There are some people who believe Omoyele has been consumed by power and that is showing on the Amotekun personnel. They are to protect the citizens, but they now lord themselves over the people and commit atrocities,” the source noted.

Meanwhile, police officers from Force Headquarters, Abuja, on Wednesday, stormed the operation base of Osun Amotekun Corps in Oke-Fia and Ile-Ife and arrested about 20 personnel of the corps.

The raid was in connection with the recent incident at Akinlalu community where operatives of Osun Amotekun allegedly shot four people dead.

Confirming the development, Osun Amotekun spokesperson, Yusuf Idowu, said the policemen arrested about 20 officers of the security agency.

He said, “Some policemen came but they didn’t seal our headquarters. They burst our operation base in Oke-Fia and the Ife Central command.

“They also arrested about 20 of our operatives at Oke-Fia and Ife Central. They came in respect of the Akinlalu incident. The policemen are still at Oke-Fia, and we don’t know where they took our personnel whom they arrested.”

Also, the Osun State Police Command has confirmed that the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, has ordered the elite investigative body of the Force, the IRT-FID, to take over the Akinlalu case.

The spokesperson for the command, Abiodun Ojelabi, also confirmed that five people have been arrested in connection with the incident.

Ojelabi, in a statement on Wednesday evening, said ”investigation carried out by the Police revealed that the attackers are members of Amotekun Corps and individuals were mentioned to have masterminded the attack, which victims and witnesses of the attack said they can identify them if seen.”

He also said efforts to bring the Commander of Osun Amotekun Corps in for questioning have proved abortive; his claim of allegedly being attacked by unknown gunmen was fabricated.

“The Commander of Amotekun Corps has been invited to clarify his roles played in the entire episode of the attack. Meanwhile, he has refused to honour the invitation, and equally, efforts made to reach him on the phone proved abortive as his phone has been switched off.

“Only for him to come on social media on 6th October, 2025, and put up a claim of being attacked by unknown armed men wearing masks, which preliminary enquiry reveals to be a figment of his own imagination aimed at concealing the truth and derailing the course of justice to the victims,” he added.

OSUN DEFENDER reports that the spokesperson of Osun Amotekun Corps, Yusuf Idowu, in a statement on Tuesday, said Omoyele narrowly escaped an assassination attempt on his life on Monday night.

According to Idowu, the unknown gunmen attacked Omoyele after the close of duty around 10 p.m.

The statement said the Amotekun boss sustained injuries in his car, which was riddled with bullets.

Hmm 🧐 what's the hope of Adeleke and PDP in 2026 governorship election. APC doesn't take it likely with Adeleke and his party.

Adeleke deserve Forgiveness from Osun residents, Not Second Term ~ Ex IPAC Chairman


That is not correct at all. Finishing my tenure allowed me to focus more on the opposition role. I have been playing an active opposition role more than ever because my responsibilities as the IPAC chairman were impeding this, but now our party, APM, is even more active in criticising this government in a very reasonable manner than ever before. You are a journalist; you can fact-check my claims.

Since the government of Ademola Adeleke came on board, APM has commended the government in the areas where it needs to be commended and condemned the action of the government where it is necessary to put them on their toes. I and my party, the APM, never went underground. We are engaging more, mobilising more people, especially youths, into our fold, especially with the ongoing CVR in the state. I can tell you categorically that our party is the future of Osun State, especially the way the incumbent government is running the state with impunity, nepotism and favouritism.

How is the current governor running the state? What is your assessment of his performance?
This is visible to the blind and audible to the deaf. The government lacks accountability, excellence and fails to prioritise the welfare of the people. If you focus on Osun under Adeleke, he is running a government of Ede, by Ede, and for Ede. Since he assumed office in 2022, his administration has consistently shown that it places little value on the collective will of the Osun people who voted him into power. One of his earliest actions was the erection of a statue of his late brother, Senator Isiaka Adeleke, at the entrance of the Osun State Secretariat in Abere, while also changing the official address of the Secretariat from Osogbo, the state capital, to Abere in Ede land. This symbolic gesture alone revealed his intentions—shifting the identity and pride of Osun’s capital toward his hometown.

Months ago, when the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) raised concerns that Adeleke’s infrastructural projects were being disproportionately concentrated in Ede, we were dismissed and ridiculed. Today, it has become undeniable. Every road in Ede has either been rehabilitated or newly constructed under Adeleke’s watch. Roads are being opened to private homes—both prominent and obscure. In less than three years, Ede’s infrastructural development has outshone Osogbo, the state capital, as massive, high-quality roads are being strategically routed into the Governor’s hometown.

I challenge anyone who may want to oppose my claim to first take a drive through Ede because I did, and the truth will hit you in the face. Roads everywhere — from major expressways to inner streets — roads have been constructed or rehabilitated with precision and quality.

Can you give an instance?

Sure! A dual carriageway from Akoda–Redeemer University junction to Oke-Gada 8.6km, multiply it by two, it is 17.2km. Another dual carriageway from Abere to Ede spanning over 5km, it is 10KM, then 10km Ofatedo–Ede dualisation project, yet another dual carriageway from Oke-Gada road to Ara Junction. No other town in Osun has received this scale of attention, not even Osogbo, the state capital.

Meanwhile, the administration attempts to cover up its nepotism by announcing flyover projects in Osogbo and Ile-Ife—projects that appear more like political distractions than genuine commitments. Recently, after a gale of defection hit his inglorious party, the PDP, to distract from these moves, the government dishes out politically timed, token projects in Ilesa because of Senator Francis Fadahunsi, who is from Ijesaland. He rushed to flag off a token dualisation project in Ilesa—barely 3km long—just to buy sympathy.

Similarly, after Senator Olubiyi Fadeyi of Ila-Orangun left the PDP, the Governor hastily approved another ill-conceived dual carriageway there, ignoring the far more critical Ila–Ora–Kwara boundary road, which remains impassable and has effectively cut off communities. Even Iwo, all the governor could offer was a 3km dualisation project. These token projects are nothing but Greek gifts—unfinished promises to be recycled as campaign tools in 2026.

The truth remains clear: in three years, Adeleke has ensured that Ede enjoys over 40km of quality road construction and rehabilitation, while no other town can boast of even 3km under his administration.

This is happening despite Osun reportedly receiving nearly ₦1 trillion in federal allocations for the state alone, aside from Local Government, within this period. With such resources, one would expect balanced development across Osun. But what do we see? Ede reaping gold, while other towns get crumbs.

Governor Adeleke’s discontinuation of Ipade Imole, his supposed town hall accountability session, is no coincidence. He has chosen opacity over transparency, refusing to face the people and answer for the lopsided governance style that benefits Ede above all. He is evading public scrutiny. When challenged, his administration hides behind shallow PR while Ede soaks up the dividends of collective resources.

Osun people are no longer deceived. If Governor Adeleke can be this intentional about building only his hometown, the people of Osun will be just as intentional about returning him home in 2026.


But the present government is doing roads, launching N100 billion and N156bn Infra plans, paying salary arrears for workers, among others…

You are a journalist who should fact-check these. It is nauseating to count them as achievements, and it is even absolutely irresponsible of that government to come out and openly tell us that they are doing well while, in the real sense, they are doing next to nothing.

Let me start with the road construction, which dovetails with the mirage called Infra plan. On October 28th 2023, Adeleke unveiled a N100bn infra plan, stating that he will build five overhead bridges within one year and construct 45 roads within this period. As a journalist, how many of those bridges have they completed or commissioned, and how many roads have been done?

I ought not to do this but let me do it because I should not be their spokesperson, they started with Oke-Fia bridge which is less than 70 percent completed since about two years, work has stopped in Ile-Ife and Lameco, but recently they started work in the latter because of second term bid and two others are missing, nothing was done in both Ikirun and Owode-Ede proposed flyover bridge till today despite that the money was encapsulated in the N100bn infra plan.


Talking of the 45 roads, how many have been completed, except the Old-Garage to Lameco dual carriage way, which was commissioned by ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, and that was haphazardly done because of his second term in office. Remember that one of the roads was awarded to the Deputy Speaker of the House of Assembly. I wonder if EFCC and ICPC are still working in the country because by now, he should be facing prosecution.

But the government has launched another N159bn Infra plan, which attracted commendation. What is your take?
This present government is a joke; if there is no yesterday, there can’t be today, and tomorrow will be impossible. What is the state of the N100bn infra project? Fiction! Nothing to show for it, then they come open to declare another N159bn infra plan, they are just taking us for a ride.

Let me even point this out: if you add up the breakdown of what they said the infra plan will address, you will see what is involved. From the speech of Adeleke, N101,799,993,595.05 was earmarked for road and lighting, N1,989,433,956.69 was billed for the education sector, and the health sector gulped N2,763,124,364.50. When you total these, it is in the region of N104 billion. He failed to tell the Osun people what N55 billion would be used for. They assume that we don’t know, but we know.


Do you remember that he collected N5 billion from the Federal government for palliative? We never heard anything about it till today.
But are there other local roads receiving adequate attention by the administration?

Sure, those roads are local government roads which were done to justify the money of the local government that they have squandered. Imagine, between November 2022 to November 2024, N183,196,629,321.19 was credited to the 30 local government councils, and nothing to show for it, which forms part of the reasons why they don’t want to obey the Court of Appeal judgement reinstating the 2022 elected chairmen.

But is the governor doing well in the aspect of workers’ welfare?
Evaluating Governor Adeleke’s administration since his swearing-in in 2022 is akin to applauding with one hand—there are notable achievements, but significant shortcomings remain. One of his commendable actions was the clearance of salary arrears owed to civil servants and pensioners from the Rauf Aregbesola administration, demonstrating his commitment to workers’ welfare.


However, while he prioritised wage payments, other sectors of governance have suffered severely. Upon assuming office, Adeleke sacked over 20,000 workers employed under his predecessor, Adegboyega Oyetola, without hiring replacements. These included health workers, exacerbating the crisis in the state’s healthcare system.

Many hospitals and health centres, including general hospitals, are critically understaffed. A tragic example was the widely reported death of a pregnant woman in Iwo due to the absence of a doctor and qualified nurses. Even teacher recruitment suffered, with no replacement to date. His administration has also faced allegations of breaching procurement laws. Most ongoing projects were neither advertised nor subjected to a bidding process.

Contracts were reportedly awarded to political allies, with one particularly controversial case involving a contract worth about N5 billion awarded to the Deputy Speaker of the House of Assembly. Details of such transactions have surfaced on Governor Adeleke’s official Twitter page.


On fiscal management, concerns persist over transparency. Last year, Osun State’s budget stood at approximately N317 billion, yet the government received around N450 billion from the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC), excluding internally generated revenue (IGR).

The whereabouts of the surplus N100 billion remain unclear, raising accountability questions that anti-corruption agencies should investigate. Adeleke’s administration has also been accused of undermining the independence of the judiciary by his attempt to unlawfully remove the Chief Judge, later reversed by the National Judicial Council (NJC), is a case in point. Similarly, his executive order to depose six monarchs who were selected by kingmakers. But Adeleke came on board, sacked them, and appointed Warrant chiefs who were PDP members. But thank God, the court is restoring some level of stability.

Local government autonomy remains a contentious issue. Allegations that the administration is suppressing local government operations have only been reinforced by ongoing crises at that level. Furthermore, Adeleke’s government has defied legal and institutional frameworks, opposing the Court of Appeal’s verdict and the Federal Government’s stance on local government elections.

Press freedom has also come under threat. Journalists critical of the administration have reportedly faced intimidation, with some allegedly receiving direct threats to their safety—an alarming trend in a democratic system. While there.

ADC Chair: We'll Win Osun Governorship if Adeleke Leaves PDP

The Osun State Chairman of the Action Democratic Congress (ADC), Charles Omidiji, has stated that his party's chances of winning the 2026 governorship election would increase if Governor Ademola Adeleke leaves the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In an interview with Sunday PUNCH, Omidiji revealed that many disgruntled PDP members, unhappy with Adeleke's potential defection to APC, are willing to join the ADC. Additionally, some APC members opposed to Adeleke's entry into the party may also defect to the ADC.

Omidiji expressed optimism about the ADC's prospects, citing the party's internal cohesion and the potential influx of new members from other parties.

Rip to the paramount ruler of Ijebu Land. My condolences
