Police give update on action against criminals allegedly hiding in Osun Govt House

The Osun State Police Command says it will soon take action against suspected criminals allegedly hiding in the State Government House.

Spokesperson for the command, DSP Abiodun Ojelabi, stated this while addressing reporters, noting that the Government House enjoys certain immunities that prevent unrestricted police access.

“The Government House has its own immunity, and as the IGP has said, there are procedures we need to follow before accessing it.

“Otherwise, we could be accused of infringing on the governor’s privacy, which is a serious matter,” Ojelabi said.

This came after concerns raised by the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, during a visit to Governor Ademola Adeleke ahead of the August 15 governorship election in the state.

Governor Adeleke had asked the police to ensure that anyone found involved in crime is brought to justice.

The state police mouthpiece, however, emphasised that the police remain mindful of legal protocols to avoid any breach of the governor’s privacy.
