Sources told SaharaReporters that the Commander was redeployed on the strength of an order from above shortly after the arrest became viral and sparked public outrage.
The Naval Commander who ordered the arrest of the All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Assembly candidate for Atakumosa East/West Local Government Area of Osun State, Hon. Babatunde Komolafe Festus, over alleged possession of a gun has been redeployed, while the politician has been released following what sources described as “orders from above.”
Sources told SaharaReporters that the Commander was redeployed on the strength of an order from above shortly after the arrest became viral and sparked public outrage.
"The Naval Commander who arrested Komolafe and the other suspects has been redeployed," a source told SaharaReporters.
"When the news went viral, those from above became agitated and the Commander who had the effrontery to order such arrest was made a scapegoat," the source told SaharaReporters.
