Osun Electoral Commission, Chairman Sue Police IG Egbetokun, Other Over Staff Arrests During Council Polls, Seek N2Billion In Damages.

As of February 26, 2025, there are no official reports indicating that the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSIEC) Chairman has filed a lawsuit against Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun and others, seeking ₦2 billion in damages over staff arrests during council polls.

However, recent tensions have escalated in Osun State concerning local government administration. The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun has accused IGP Egbetokun of collaborating with the All Progressives Congress (APC) to enforce a “non-existent” court order aimed at reinstating former local government chairmen. These actions allegedly led to violent clashes resulting in multiple fatalities and property destruction.

In response, IGP Egbetokun has dismissed these allegations, emphasizing that the deployment of additional police personnel was solely to maintain law and order, following a request from the state’s Commissioner of Police. He urged residents to remain calm and law-abiding, assuring them that the situation is under control.

Governor Ademola Adeleke has also expressed concerns, accusing the IGP of enforcing lawlessness in the state’s local government areas. During a meeting with British diplomats, Governor Adeleke criticized the police chief’s actions, describing them as a serious threat to democracy in Nigeria.
