Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has called for economic sanctions and visa bans against opposition leaders in the state, accusing them of aiding and abetting political violence in the state ahead of the August 15 governorship election.
Adeleke made the call on Monday while receiving a delegation of the British Government on a pre-election peace-building mission to Osun State.
The governor alleged that the named politicians were encouraging violence through their supporters, leading to killings and gun attacks across the state.
A statement signed by the governor’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, stated that the governor urged the international community to impose sanctions on politicians and security officials found to be sponsoring or enabling political violence.
