Officers from the Ogun State Police Command on Thursday prevented the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) from campaigning for the ongoing bye-elections in Ikenne/Sagamu/Remo North Federal Constituency.

OSUN DEFENDER reports that the officers claimed that they were acting on the instruction of the state Governor, Mr Dapo Abiodun, a development the governor has denied.

The officers disrupted the event despite a formal notice from the ADC to the state Commissioner of Police which was received and acknowledged.

The ADC candidate for the ongoing bye-election in Ikenne/Sagamu/Remo North Federal Constituency, whom the state actors instructed the police to disrupt his campaign, is a 41-year-old lawyer, Mr. Solomon Oluwaseyi Osho, popularly known as SOLO.

Born on the 5th of May 1984 to the family of late Otunba Timothy (Otunba-kogun of Igbepa) and Likanna Royal compound of Ode-Remo, and Mrs Elizabeth Osho (Nee Onamuyiwa) of Isara-Remo, the ADC candidate is a Barrister & Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

Osho is a London-trained lawyer and an alumnus of London South Bank University, United Kingdom. He is also an alumnus of Methodist Comprehensive College, Sagamu (Class 2000).

He was a former councillor and Leader of Remo North Council between 2012-2015.

In 2019, Osho was elected as a member of Ogun State House of Assembly, representing Remo North State Constituency.

He is the founder and President of May-Five Foundation.
