Laolu Akande, former media aide to ex-Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, has expressed concern about the lack of detailed information from the police regarding the arrest of Secretary to the Osun State Government, Teslim Igbalaye.
Speaking as a guest on Channels Television’s ‘Sunrise Daily’, Akande said there is a suspicion about what happened, due to the inadequate briefing provided.
Recall that the Osun State Police Command on Wednesday arrested Igbalaye following an operation linked to an alleged vote-buying investigation in Osogbo.
Akande blamed the Nigeria police for not providing a robust account, noting that the SSG holds a significant office in the state.
“The police have not given us sufficient information about their activities in Osun state regarding those arrests, and because of that, there’s is a lot of suspicion about what is happening, and then they are now allowing the Accord Party spokesman to have a few days to call you out to challenge what you have done.
“The police in Osun State need to give us a proper, comprehensive briefing of the suspected criminal activity, especially the one in which the SSG is involved with. The SSG is the number three in the state.
“Yes, if he were to be arrested, he has no immunity but that’s a serious matter. It’s not that you give us information that you found two PVCs in his house without telling us the implication and what else you are trying to investigate. So, the police in Osun State have not done very well,” he said.
