Osun Youths Demand Thorough Probe into Park Chairman’s Case

  • Osun Youths’ Appeal: Youths from Osun State based in Abuja have urged the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to ensure justice is served in the case of Nurudeen Iyanda, Chairman of the Osun State Park Management System.
  • Allegations Against Alowonle: Iyanda, popularly known as Alowonle, was arrested alongside associates on allegations of murder, attempted murder, unlawful possession of firearms, and malicious damage.
  • Shooting Incident: The case took a dramatic turn with Alowonle’s alleged shooting while in police custody, sparking blame-trading between the police and Osun State Park Management.
  • Youth Groups’ Concerns: The National Youths Inclusive Initiative and Societal Safety Network expressed concerns over the state government’s handling of the matter, accusing them of trivializing Alowonle’s arrest.

Osun youths are calling for a thorough investigation into the case of Alowonle, following his arrest and subsequent shooting incident while in police custody. The youths, under the umbrella of the National Youths Inclusive Initiative and Societal Safety Network, appealed to the Inspector General of Police to ensure justice is served and prevent the state from descending into anarchy.

The groups praised the Osun State Police Command for their professionalism but criticized the state government’s response to the incident. They described the government’s press statement, signed by Commissioner for Information Kolapo Alimi, as “unpatriotic” and called for condemnation from “good-spirited Nigerians.”

The youths urged the police authority to clear the force’s name regarding allegations that policemen supplied Alowonle with guns and ammunition found in his possession. With tensions rising, the groups’ appeal for a thorough probe aims to restore peace and uphold justice in Osun State.
