Osun Accord Chairman Urges Police Commissioner to Order Immediate Release of Detained Supporter Allegedly Held on Senator Fadahunsi’s Order




The Chairman of Accord Party in Osun State, Pastor Victor Akande, has called on the Osun State Commissioner of Police to immediately order the release of Mr. Owoeye Muyiwa, who has reportedly been detained at the State CID for the past three days on the alleged order of Senator Francis Fadahunsi through his police orderly.

According to reports, Mr. Muyiwa, a supporter of Governor Ademola Adeleke and a member of the Accord Party, was allegedly arrested following the mounting of Governor Adeleke’s billboard within his family house.

The party also alleged that Mr. Muyiwa’s ordeal may not be unconnected to his refusal to defect to the APC despite alleged pressures and invitations from Senator Fadahunsi.

It was further gathered that attempts were made to implicate him in the vandalisation of APC billboards. However, those brought forward to identify him reportedly stated clearly that they did not witness him vandalising any billboard, thereby exonerating him of the allegation.

Despite the absence of any credible evidence linking him to any offence, he has remained in custody, with officials at the State CID stating that only the Commissioner of Police can authorise his release.

Pastor Akande described the continued detention as an act of intimidation and harassment targeted at members and supporters of the Accord across Ijesaland.

“We respectfully call on the Commissioner of Police to ensure the immediate release of Mr. Owoeye Muyiwa without further delay. No citizen should be subjected to unlawful detention or political intimidation for expressing support for a political leader or exercising his lawful rights,” he stated.

Pastor Akande also called the attention of the Inspector General of Police, the Owa Palace, and democratic institutions and observers within and outside Nigeria to what he described as growing violations of the rights and privileges of the people of Ijesaland.

He urged security agencies to remain professional, impartial, and committed to protecting the democratic rights of all citizens regardless of political affiliation.

“Our people should not be pushed to the wall through acts of intimidation and harassment. Democracy must be protected, and the rights of citizens must be respected at all times,” the statement added.


Signed:

Pastor Victor Akande

Chairman,  Accord, Osun State.

The Coalition of Civil Society Organisations in collaboration with the Centre for Citizens’ Rights has urged the Inspector General of Police to rebuild public confidence in the Nigeria Police Force. Speaking at a press conference in Lagos, the President of the Coalition, Adeyemi Olorunsogo and its Secretary, Kolawole Abe Emmanuel, said Nigerians expect professionalism, impartiality, and accountability from the leadership of the Force.
