#OSUNDECIDES: Why Omisore must produce the murderer of Tolu Adeseun

The Chairman, Governor Rauf Aregbesola Re-election Campaign Committee for Ijesa-South Federal Constituency, Honourable Timothy Owoeye, has called on the Inspector General of Police, Muhammed Abubakar, to compel the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Iyiola Omisore, to produce the hoodlum that killed a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Tolu Tewogbola Adeosun, in Ilesa last Friday.

Owoeye, who is the Leader of the Osun House of Assembly, urged the police boss to thoroughly investigate the killing of the APC member that was allegedly shot by a hoodlum in Omisore’s campaign entourage at Ward 9, Ilesa East Local Government Council Area, last Tuesday.
Speaking with OSUN DEFENDER in a telephone interview on Tuesday, Owoeye said Omisore and other PDP chieftains at the rally could not deny knowing the blood-thirsty hoodlum that killed the APC member. He revealed that the slain APC member was sitting at the front of his house, when he was allegedly shot by a miscreant within Omisore’s entourage, who identified the deceased as a vibrant APC member.
The lawmaker said there were too many questions begging for answers on the death of the young aspiring Nigerian, stating nothing whatsoever could warrant attacking the deceased, not to talk of killing him in cold blood. Owoeye: “Before now, Aregbesola had moved round the entire villages and towns of Osun without a record of violence. All markets and stores in Ijesaland were under lock and key due to the arrival of Omisore and his campaign team.
“This act of PDP in Osun is equivalent to harassment, intimidation and political terrorism ahead of the August 9, 2014 governorship election. But nobody has monopoly of violence. If the PDP continues in this trend of political violence, it will meet its waterloo. People would stand to defend themselves. “We call on the Inspector-General of Police to please, mount pressure on Omisore to produce one of his thugs that shot our member; Tolu Tewogbola Adeosun before the election. Anybody found wanton in connection with the vibrant APC member must be duly prosecuted.
“We also warn the police against sweeping the case under the carpet because of the possible PDP and Presidency’s obnoxious influence, as the PDP had been boasting of using the police and other security agencies in the state to terrorise the APC and electorate in the state, before, during and after the election,” Owoeye stressed.
