Osun poll: Adeleke’s camp seeks honours for victims of electoral violence

The Imole Campaign Council has called for state honors and official recognition for victims of electoral violence across Osun State. The council claims several members of the Accord Party and supporters of Governor Ademola Adeleke have been killed, injured, abducted, or detained due to their political affiliation and support for Adeleke's re-election.

Kolade Eluyera, Ezekiel Olapade, Ajayi Rogba, and Timilehin Oni are among the victims named in the proposal. The council also listed 100 campaign coordinators and supporters who have been arrested and detained recently. They urge the Nigeria Police Force to remain impartial and professional in their duties and condemn the persecution and arbitrary detention of Adeleke's campaign members.

The council acknowledges that no recognition can compensate for the losses suffered by the victims but insists that those who sacrificed their lives for the governor's re-election deserve official honors.
