Adeleke Directs Arrest Of Asiri Eniba, Others Over Alleged Destruction Of Public Properties
Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has directed the state police Command to arrest some thugs allegedly working for the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) before the public resorts to self-help.
According to a statement by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, the directive came following fresh attacks on Accord and public properties across Osogbo.
Responding to the latest attacks, which extend beyond billboard vandalisation to destruction of public properties, the governor directed the state police commissioner to stop the apparent shielding of these thugs and act decisively to protect public properties.
Adeleke commended a detachment of policemen who repelled an attempt to destroy statues at the Abere roundabout.
“I hereby direct the Commissioner of Police to immediately effect the arrest of Asiri Eniba and his gangs who are terrorising the state. They moved around in Sienna buses, Hilux jeeps and motorcycles, shooting sporadically. The police know them and the state command should do the needful.
“These political criminals are now attacking public properties. Security agencies should prevent a scenario in which untamed thugs will set the state secretariat and other government buildings on fire.
“I call on all security agencies to rise to this urgent task of enforcing law and order and preventing anarchy. The police authorities must not wait for the public to resort to self- help before taking potent action”, the governor warned.
