The Adeleke Campaign Council has raised the alarm over the alleged presence of armed security personnel at the residence of the Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Adewale Egbedun, on Saturday, the day of the state’s governorship election.
The campaign council, in a statement by its spokesperson, Pelumi Olajengbesi, said the personnel reportedly arrived in more than 10 black Hilux vehicles and surrounded the Speaker’s residence.
It alleged that the residence had been sealed off, with people inside reportedly prevented from leaving the premises.
The council, however, said it could not independently confirm the purpose of the security deployment or whether the personnel were providing security or carrying out official duties.
