The Osun State Police Command has declared a former chief of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) wanted, following the recent murder of a prominent ally of Governor Ademola Adeleke. The police are intensifying their efforts to apprehend the suspect, whose identity has not been disclosed, amid rising tensions in the state.

According to the Osun State Commissioner of Police, the command is also on the lookout for two additional individuals believed to have masterminded the killing of Mr. Oyeyemi, a close associate of the governor. The police have stated that they are working diligently to bring the culprits to justice and restore peace in the community.

This incident has sparked widespread concern about security in the state, particularly as violence linked to political rivalries continues to escalate. Local leaders and citizens are calling for immediate action to address the underlying issues contributing to such violent acts, emphasizing the need for enhanced security measures and community engagement.

“We will not rest until we ensure that those behind this heinous act are brought to justice,” stated the Commissioner of Police.
