Governor Ademola Adeleke has called for calm in the state following the drama that played out at the Eid ground claiming assassination attempt.
In a statement by the governor’s spokesperson,
Olawale Rasheed, the Governor said the incident was an assassination attempt on his life.
Adeleke has, however, ordered the commissioner of police in the state to arrest the former senator.
My good people of Osun, I appeal for calm and urge us to continue to celebrate the Sallah festival in peace. I am safe by the special grace of God,” the governor said.
“I have directed security agencies to arrest those behind the incident and get them to face the wrath of the law. The commissioner of police has been directed to arrest those involved no matter how highly placed”
Adeleke said he was shocked with the role played by Basiru “who took over the space reserved for the governor at the prayer ground. All efforts to get the former senator to vacate the space proved abortive”.
