Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has commended the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, for the swift steps taken so far in response to the recent killings in Akinlalu, Ife North Local Government Area of the state.

In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, Governor Adeleke expressed the state government’s readiness to fully cooperate with the police and other security agencies in their efforts to unravel the circumstances surrounding the tragic incident.

The governor reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring justice for the victims, stressing that no individual or group, regardless of status or connection, would be spared if found culpable.

“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, the governor emphasized that the investigation must be conducted strictly within the framework of the rule of law to guarantee fairness and protect innocent citizens.

He added that justice must not only be done but must be seen to be done without hindrance or interference.

“I will not condone any violation of the law or act of indiscipline and impunity. In this matter, the law must take its course,” the governor stated.

Governor Adeleke also appealed to 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 continues.
