Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, on Monday demanded fair and impartial policing from the newly deployed Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Zungura, as part of efforts to restore peace and rebuild public trust following the turbulence that trailed the last governorship election.
The governor, who met Zungura during the CP’s courtesy visit, also unveiled a 10-member Committee on Election Violence Victims to verify claims by persons affected by election-related violence and oversee the disbursement of the N500m Election Violence Victims Relief Endowment Fund.
A statement by the spokesperson to the governor, Olawale Rasheed, obtained on Monday said Zungura, in company of top officials of the state police command, paid the governor a courtesy visit on his assumption of office.
Adeleke urged the new police chief to reorganise the command’s operations, strengthen police-community relations and end alleged partisan conduct, while assuring him of the state government’s support without strings attached.
