The Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Adewale Egbedun, has called on the Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, to investigate an alleged threat to his life following a disturbing incident involving the Executive Chairman of Odo Otin Local Government, Adewale Adeyinka, in Okuku.
Egbedun made the call in a statement released on Wednesday while giving an account of what he said he personally witnessed after Adeyinka allegedly came under pursuit by a three-vehicle convoy.
The Speaker, in the statement he also shared across his social media handles, said he received a distress call from the council chairman while returning from the Osun State House of Assembly after a World Press Conference.
“He informed me that he was being pursued by a three-vehicle convoy,” Egbedun said.
He said he immediately directed Adeyinka to return to the Okuku Divisional Police Station, which he described as the safest place for the chairman to seek protection.
