Osun State Government has formally received the newly deployed Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Zungura, with Governor Ademola Adeleke urging him to reform the state police command and secure the release of persons he described as political detainees.
Zungura, who assumed office in Osun on Monday, visited the governor alongside senior officers of the command. During the meeting, he pledged to collaborate with the state government to strengthen peace, stability and public confidence in the police.
The engagement took place amid lingering tensions between the Adeleke administration and the police, particularly during the period leading up to and following the August 15 governorship election.
Speaking at the meeting, Zungura assured the governor that his administration of the command would be impartial and focused on resolving security challenges across the state.
