The Osun State Police Command is probing claims that Governor Ademola Adeleke's media aide, Shakiru Babatunde, staged his own abduction. This emerged from a statement by the governor's spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, who denied allegations of interference by senior officials. The issue surfaced after a media report claimed Babatunde self-kidnapped in Ede, Osun State, and contacted government figures for ransom.
According to the report, Babatunde remained hidden during the alleged incident. The police were alerted by a government official, leading to Babatunde's arrest at a hideout. Police say he confessed to staging the event after being interrogated. The state government insisted the police are investigating the matter and rejected claims that officials are trying to sway the process.
