Osun state governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has commended the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, on the steps taken so far on the recent killings in Akinlalu, advocating observance of the rule of law in the investigation process.
In a statement issued by his Spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, the Governor, who assured the police of full cooperation, further urged full support for the investigation process he had earlier ordered to unravel the details behind the killings.
While again commiserating with victims, the Governor affirmed his commitment to fishing out those responsible, declaring that ‘no one or group, no matter how highly placed or connected, found to be culpable in one way or the other should be spared from facing the full brunt of the law.’
The Governor, while further stating that there are no sacred cows in the matter at hand, however, urged the police to observe the rule of law in the investigation to ensure fairness, adding that the innocents must be protected within the bounds of law.
He noted that justice must not only be done but must be brought to bear accordingly without any let or hindrance.
The Governor further said, ‘I will not condone violation of the law or any act of indiscipline and impunity. In this matter, the law must take its course.
‘Once again, I urge all stakeholders, particularly the police, the Department of State Security (DSS), the Amotekun Security Service and other security agencies to ensure absolute peace and orderliness while the investigation lasts.’
