Osun LG orders withdrawal of security cover for APC council officials, says Adeleke to police.

By Shina Abubakar

Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has urged the Inspector General of Police, Tunji Disu, to withdraw security cover for local government council officials elected under the All Progressives Congress (APC) who are deemed controversial.

The governor made the request after a Federal High Court ruling nullified a tenure determination suit filed by the APC council officials.

The officials had asked the court to decide whether their tenure had ended in October 2025, following an Executive Order issued by the governor that barred them from accessing their offices for two years.

Justice Funmilola Demi‑Ajayi delivered the judgement, which Governor Adeleke praised as consistent with constitutional provisions.

He stated, “The judgment further validates the precedent set by the Supreme Court ruling that tenure elongation is unconstitutional. Based on today’s judgement, I therefore call on the Inspector General of Police to direct the Osun state police command to stop its current support for the Yes/No chairmen.”

“I specifically direct the Commissioner of Police to stop providing further security cover for the illegal occupation of the council secretariats by the sacked chairmen,” the governor added.

“We demand that all law enforcement agents should support the immediate restoration of the duly elected local government chairmen. This is the path of law and the constitution.”
