The Osun State Government has received the newly posted Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Zungura, with Governor Ademola Adeleke demanding reforms in the state police command and the release of persons he described as political detainees.
Zungura, who assumed duty in Osun on Monday, paid a courtesy visit to Adeleke alongside senior officers of the command, where he pledged to work with the state government to restore peace and public confidence in the police.
The meeting comes against the backdrop of strained relations between the Adeleke administration and the police during the build-up to and aftermath of the August 15 governorship election.
According to a statement issued on Monday by the governor’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, Zungura speaking during the meeting, promised to ensure impartial policing and work with the government to address security concerns in the state.
