Osun terror alert: Adeleke urges vigilance, tightens security

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has urged residents to be vigilant following security concerns. This comes after a report emerged of an alleged terror plot to disrupt the 2027 elections, according to the Punch.

There has also been a separate incident of violence in the state. Olalekan Ajagungbade, an ally of Governor Adeleke, was shot dead in Ile-Ife. The Daily Trust reports that he was lured to a motor park for a meeting and shot in the head. The incident was linked to a clash over motor park leadership.

Governor Adeleke has responded to both incidents. He has ordered the Osun state police command to track and arrest those involved in the killing, and directed security agencies to restore normalcy to the motor parks. The governor also plans to issue an Executive Order to establish a park management system.
