Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has accused the state Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Gothan, of ordering the illegal detention of his aide, Abiodun Adegoke, and repeatedly denying him bail over a petition linked to the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate, Bola Oyebamiji.

The governor has consequently urged the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to intervene and compel the Osun State Police Command to respect Adegoke’s fundamental rights.

However, the Osun State Police Command dismissed the allegation, insisting that Adegoke has been granted bail and that investigations into the petition against him have been concluded.

In a statement signed by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, and obtained in Osogbo, Governor Adeleke said Adegoke had been detained for more than five days without being charged to court, describing the action as a violation of the Constitution.
