Candidates of the Accord Party in Osun State have called on President Bola Tinubu and the Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, to investigate alleged harassment of the party’s members by the state police command.
Speaking on behalf of the party’s caucus, the lawmaker representing Ede/Egbedore/Ejigbo Federal Constituency, Hon. Bamidele Salam, expressed concern over the arrest of the party’s candidate for Ijesa South Federal Constituency, Mr. Popoola Alaba.
Salam alleged that the arrest was without sufficient justification and raised concerns over what he described as a pattern of harassment targeting party leaders and members ahead of the August 15 governorship election in the state.
He alleged that the development had heightened concerns about possible collaboration between security personnel and some political actors to intimidate members of the party.
