Osun killings worrisome, says APC

The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed concern over reported cases of extra-judicial killings in Osogbo, the state capital, and other parts of the state. According to the APC, these incidents have become a source of worry to residents and stakeholders.

The party has called on the state government and security agencies to prioritise the protection of lives and property. The APC had expected that the conclusion of the August 15 governorship election would bring an end to the reported killings, but this has not been fulfilled, Daily Post Nigeria reports.

The situation is causing fear among people who might consider visiting or doing business in Osun, the APC said, and repeated negative reports about the state need to be addressed. The party is urging Governor Adeleke's administration to ensure the security of residents, as reported by Punch Nigeria and Punch.
