Osun APC condemns alleged post-election attacks, urges police action

The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned alleged post-election attacks on its members and supporters across the state, urging the police to investigate and prosecute those responsible. The party made its position known in a statement signed by its Director of Media and Information, Kola Olabisi, on Tuesday, alleging that violent incidents began on Sunday following the declaration of Governor Ademola Adeleke as the winner of the governorship election by the Independent National Electoral Commission.

The APC claimed that violent incidents occurred in various locations, including Oke-Fia, Osogbo, Amudaoba in Modakeke, and Iba in Ifelodun Local Government Area, with some local government chairmen attempting to force their way into council secretariats with the assistance of armed political groups. The party also alleged that members and supporters of APC were attacked, motor parks were taken control of, and a house belonging to one of its members was destroyed.
