Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, on Monday alleged that extrajudicial killings were occurring in the state and urged President Bola Tinubu not to turn a blind eye to the development.

Adeleke, while addressing the governorship campaign rally of the Accord for Olorunda Local Government, reminded Tinubu that he and his party already endorsed him for another term ahead of the 2027 general election, imploring him to play a fatherly role to the state by rising to protect its residents.

He declared that any plan to manipulate the August 15 governorship poll would be frustrated by the electorate.

“President Bola Tinubu, something is happening in Osun that you have not moved to put an end to. They are killing our people. You are the President; you are the father for all of us. Osun has said they won’t allow rigging.
