Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has declared his full support to the ongoing investigation of the police over the killings involving Amotekun corps at Akinlalu, a community in Ife North area of the state.

The governor in a statement by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, on Sunday, rejected calls by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to interfere in the ongoing investigation into the Akinlalu incident, describing the opposition’s allegations as another example of a losing party struggling for relevance.

Adeleke who cautioned against politicisation of a matter of law and order, said he believes in the ongoing police investigation to unravel the details of the killings.

“The Akinlalu matter is a question of law and order and the Inspector General of Police has acted on the matter. The police is conducting an active investigation. Our government will not intervene or interfere.

“I caution our people to avoid the temptation to politicise the unfortunate incident. We should allow due process to take its cause without let or hindrance.

“The opposition’s allegations are unfounded and baseless. The Osun APC in want of direction and strategy has grown to be a constant purveyor of fake news.

“We will not succumb to blackmail or surrender to a party that is more interested in destabilising the state than delivering on good governance,” the statement added.
