The Nigeria Police Force has confirmed 30 cases of alleged politically motivated killings ahead of Aug. 15 governorship election in Osun state.
The Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), CSP Anietie Iniedu, disclosed this on Tuesday when he appeared on the Channel TV programme “Morning Brief”.
Speaking during the programme, monitored by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the FPRO said a few arrests had been made.
He said some of the suspects were paraded by the police, and a few of them had been charged in court.
‘From the complaints received, we cannot rule out the involvement of some politicians in the killings,’ he said.
