The Osun APC Governorship Campaign Council warmly welcomes the Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, to Osun State and expresses confidence in his commitment to professionalism, justice and the rule of law.

The Council respectfully urges the Inspector-General to ensure that all criminal investigations in the state are conducted diligently, professionally and without fear or favour. The Council believes that securing justice for victims of violent crimes is essential to restoring public confidence in law enforcement.

The Council therefore call on the Nigeria Police Force to intensify efforts to apprehend all individuals who have been formally declared wanted by the police and to ensure they are brought before the courts to answer the allegations against them.

The Council also appeals to the Inspector-General to ensure that the recent attempted assassination of the Director-General of the Osun APC Governorship Campaign Council, Hon. Oluwole Oke, is thoroughly investigated and that anyone found responsible is prosecuted in accordance with the law.

The APC also urges the Inspector-General of Police to specifically order a review of all unresolved murder cases in Osun State since 2022.

In 2022, Tajudeen Rabiu, an APC chieftain and NURTW leader in Osogbo, was killed. In the same year, one Waheed was brutally murdered. According to reports, before he was killed, one of his legs was tied with a rope and severed while he was still alive. His body was subsequently taken away by the assailants. This killing has been linked to an appointee of Governor Ademola Adeleke, Olalekan Oyeyemi (aka Emir Ajagungbade).

Also in November 2022, an APC member, Muraina Olayiwola, was reportedly murdered by another appointee of Governor Ademola Adeleke, Nurudeen Wakili (aka Nuru Alawonle), in collaboration with Olalekan Oyeyemi (aka Emir Ajagungbade) and their gang.

Another APC member, Olalekan Ososondi, was also allegedly killed by the same Emir Ajagungbade. Reports indicate that Ososondi’s head was smashed with heavy stones.

In 2023, another APC member, Ismail Dudu, was killed in Ota Efun. According to reports, he was murdered by having his throat slit. Both Emir Ajagungbade and Nurudeen Alawonle have been accused of being responsible for the killing.

In November 2025, Adeboye Ademoroti (aka Gernanee), an Osun APC member and NURTW leader in Ilesa, was shot and killed by gunmen. The killing was allegedly carried out by another appointee of Governor Ademola Adeleke, Solomon Adefioye (aka Solo Iwara). Adefioye has also been accused of involvement in multiple killings of APC members and supporters in Ijesaland. It is disturbing that despite having been declared wanted by the police since 2022, he continues to move freely and is accused of committing further crimes.

In February 2023, during the presidential campaign visit of President Bola Tinubu to Osun State, the APC Treasurer for Ward 9 in Irewole Local Government, Saheed Oyegunju, was kidnapped in broad daylight by thugs said to be associated with the current Deputy Minority Leader of the Senate, Senator Lere Oyewumi. His body was later found by the roadside. Although some arrests were reportedly made initially, the case was swept under the carpet.
