The Adeleke Campaign Council has raised the alarm over the alleged deployment of armed security personnel to the residence of the Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Adewale Egbedun, on Saturday as the state holds its governorship election.
The campaign council, in a statement issued by its spokesperson, Pelumi Olajengbesi, alleged that the security personnel arrived at the Speaker’s residence in more than 10 black Hilux vehicles and subsequently surrounded the premises.
According to the council, the residence was effectively sealed off, with people inside allegedly prevented from leaving.
However, the campaign council said it was unable to independently establish the purpose of the deployment or determine whether the personnel were providing security or acting in an official capacity.
“We have received reports that the residence of the Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adewale Egbedun, has been surrounded by armed security personnel who reportedly arrived in more than 10 black Hilux vehicles,” the statement said.
