Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has alleged law enforcement agencies of intimidating his supporters, condemning the arrest of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, Hon. Sunday Bisi.
The governor said Bisi was arrested in his home after he had voted, describing the move as barbaric and a vicious attack on free will.
“Information reaching me indicates that Hon. Bisi was accosted in his home in Ilesa shortly after he returned after voting, and whisked him away to yet to be known location.
“Up till this moment, no one has been availed the reason for his arrest, which indicates that the APC is working in cohort with compromised security agents to keep people away from monitoring results at the various collation centres,” the governor stated in a statement by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed.
Adeleke alleged that the move was part of a broader plan to give the All Progressives Congress unhindered access to change results at collation centres and upturn our wins at the poll.
This is the biggest assault on democracy, and I urge everyone involved in this desperate attempt to upturn the will of our people through the use of state institutions.
“In that regard, I am calling for the immediate release of Hon. Bisi because his arrest is nothing but political and other political prisoners across Osun state. Election should be about the people freely giving their mandates to the person of their choice without threat or force,” he said.
