The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State has decried the mass arrest of its leaders by the police, alleging that the development was in a bid to manipulate next Saturday’s State Assembly elections.
The party said the IGP Alkali was duty-bound to be impartial in enforcing the law, adding that the police boss should not take directives on who to arrest or detain from the chieftains of the All Progressives Congress. “We call on the Inspector General of Police to stop serving the evil interest of the APC. The police boss has a sacred duty to be an impartial enforcer of the law, not an agent of one political party against the other. It is unacceptable for the IGP to take directives on who to arrest or detain from APC chieftains. This is a democracy, not a military dictatorship.
The spokesperson of Osun APC, Mr Kola Olabisi, when contacted promised to react to the statement, but he has not done so, as of the time of filing this report.
