AUGUST 15 POLLS: IMOLE CAMPAIGN COUNCIL UNCOVERS SECRET PLOT TO DEPLOY FAKE DSS OPERATIVES
● 25 TOP ACCORD CHIEFTAIN TARGETED
● ALERTS DG, DSS
● COMMENDS IGP DISU
The Imole Campaign Council has raised alarm over alleged deployment of fake operatives of the Department of State Service (DSS) to eliminate 25 targeted government and Accord officials ahead of the August 15 polls.
Quoting unnamed intelligence from the Ilerioluwa campaign office of the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC), the statement signed by the Spokesperson to the Imole Campaign Council, Comrade Pelumi Olajengbesi, disclosed that the suspected fake, secret police have been allegedly deployed to major towns in Osun state.
The statement while commending the Inspector General of Police for enforcing fair policing in Osun state alerted the public to the alleged presence of hooded operatives who claimed to be DSS officials operating outside the command of the state Director of the DSS.
While calling the attention of the Director General of DSS to the new untoward development, the state government reported that the opposition APC and her operatives have been boasting of deploying DSS officials since the police is reportedly pushing towards fair policing in recent days.
The opposition’s open claim to such deployment was recently followed by strange lodgements across the state and sudden increase in harassment and intimidation of innocent citizens across towns and cities in the state, the statement posited.
Providing further details, the Imole Campaign Council noted that the said fake operatives claimed to be a special squad from Abuja and are already lodged at Osogbo, Ilesa, Iwo, Ikirun, Ede, and Ile Ife.
Beyond the attacks on specified leaders, the leak also alleged that the fake squad is to coordinate the deployment of armed thugs to continue the destruction of Accord billboards and organize booing of the governor at strategic points and locations in Osogbo, the state capital.
Part of the report hinted that arms inflow to APC thugs is at a high rate as manifested in several sections of the state such as Ilesa, Osogbo, Ikirun, Ile Ife and other areas.
While warning of dire consequences if the opposition continues its evil agenda, the Campaign Council also submitted that prominent Accord officials have been placed on elimination list, citing a prominent opposition Senator as the coordinator of the evil plot.
We have it on good authority that prominent officials of the administration numbering about 25 have been listed as targets with their movements being tracked and their communications bugged, the statement further narrated.
While affirming its preparedness for self defence within the law and while calling on the Presidency to call the Marine Minister, Gboyega Oyetola to order, the Imole Campaign Council calls the leaked report as “the most politically insane plot ever hatched by any anti-democratic elements seeking power through the backdoor.
“We call on the Director General of DSS to order an investigation and immediately halt this alleged operation which is by all accounts a pseudo, unauthorised scheme designed to drag the service into partisan waters through the backdoor.
“We also commend the Inspector General of Police for continuing his drive towards fair policing by directing reforms into the current partisan operations involving the Osun State Police Command.
“We however repeat our appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to stop efforts by his cousin, the Marine minister and Mr Gboyega Oyetola to turn Osun state into a battleground.
“We note with regret that at a time, all hands are on deck to mobilise Osun for the re-election of Mr President, his cousin and the Osun APC are fanning embers of discord and nurturing conflicts with dangerous implications for forthcoming elections”, the statement concluded.

● SEEK PROTECTION FROM PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU, DIPLOMATIC COMMUNITY
The Osun state government and the leadership of Accord hereby raise alarm over a reliable report that the Inspector General of police has created and dispatched a special squad under CSP Moses Lahor for a decapitation operation against Accord leaders and top government officials ahead of the August 15 governorship elections.
We have an authentic report about the plot for the squad to land in Osun any moment from now and commenced selective commando-like arrest of Accord officials, not for investigation and prosecution but likely summary execution.
The government and the party leadership also learnt reliably that the alleged killer squad have had series of special meetings with the APC gubernatorial candidate, Bola Oyebamiji during which he has given them all necessary logistics to carry out the planned gruesome agenda of liquidating all known Accord stalwarts in different parts of the State.
It was specifically gathered that the APC candidate has availed the killer squad two Toyota 18 seater passenger buses and one Sienna car for their smooth operations throughout the state.
What is worrisome is that the planned undercover operation is a secret scheme without the knowledge of the Osun State Commissioner of Police.
The head of the killer squad who is also a serving police officer is a former officer in charge of Anti Kidnapping in Osun State Command of Nigeria Police who was involved in the attempted murder of a chieftain of NURTW, Comrade Nurudeen Alowonle whom he shot in the abdomen.
He was then transferred out of Osun to Borno State as an operational punishment for the dastardly act of shooting a suspect in custody.
The report indicated that top APC leaders from Osun state influenced his eventual transfer to another police unit, the IRT squad of Nigeria Police.
We hereby place an urgent appeal to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the International Community to take note of the looming planned mass arrest and killings of key figures of Accord Party in Osun state.
We need to equally let the IGP know that the peace loving people of Osun State will resist, through lawful means, the planned mayhem being orchestrated by the opposition APC and their candidate, AMBO, who on a daily basis is desperately planning all acts of mischief and malfeasance after glaringly being rejected by the people of Osun state even before the coming election.
We charge the IGP to toe the path of peace and harmony, so as not to allow his men ( police) to be used to carry out the already known illegality in the interest of already sinking APC and its candidate, Mr Bola Oyebamiji in Osun state.
We want the public to know that the good people of Osun are aware and awake to all the hatchet jobs being planned by the embattled and rejected but desperate APC to win the coming August election in the state by all means, even though it is too late for them to come to terms with the glaring defeat awaiting them after the August 15,2026 election.
E Signed Oluomo Kolapo Alimi Hon.Commissioner Information and Public Enlightenment, Osun State.

BILLBOARD DESTRUCTION: OSUN SECURITY COUNCIL ADOPTS STRINGENT MEASURES
Osun Security Council has adopted several strategies to nip in the bud recent upsurge of political violence.
These strategies were adopted at the marathon meeting of the council held yesterday under the chairmanship of Governor Ademola Adeleke represented by his deputy, Prince Kola Adewusi.
As political brigandage and vandalism continue to take centre stage in Osogbo and other parts of Osun State in recent times, particularly in the early hours of Monday, the 11th day of May, by hoodlums alleged to be sponsored by Osun State chapter of APC, Governor Ademola Adeleke today presided over a high powered Emergency State Security Council meeting at the Governor’s Office, State Secretariat.
The meeting brought together top security commanders from the Army, Air Force, Police, DSS, Immigration, NDLEA, among others to underscore the urgency of the situation.
Members of the State Executive Council were also at the hurriedly convened emergency security meeting which lasted several hours on the way forward, especially as political activities gather momentum for the 15th of August, 2026 Governorship election.
Addressing the security echelons, Governor Ademola Adeleke, condemned the general state of lawlessness and brigandage by the alleged thugs of APC who, with an unrestrained glee, carried out defacement and destruction of his billboards as well as that of his political party, ACCORD, during the coordinated attacks allegedly led by one Asiri Eniba and his cohorts in the early hours of Monday.
Governor Adeleke at the meeting, however, called for calm, support and cooperation of all security chiefs and other stakeholders in the state.
Apparently expressing his dismay, Governor Adeleke berated the Osun State Commissioner of Police over the unbridled brigandage which he said could have been instantly curtailed by the police, if as the C.P, he had acted promptly to checkmate the political charlatans from having a free for all of their acts of lawlessness.
A statement by the Commissioner of Information and Public Enlightenment, Oluomo Kolapo Alimi quoted Governor Adeleke as condemning the braggadocios of the alleged APC thugs who were reported to be fully armed and shooting sporadically especially at the State Secretariat entrance gate for several hours before leaving the scene.
The police, however, at the meeting defended itself over the unfortunate commando like operation by the alleged APC hoodlums. As one of the ways out, the police promised to have a roundtable discussion with the Chairmen of all political parties very soon in the state.
Earlier, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Security Matters, Barr. Samuel Ojo while briefing the top security echelons gave brief details of how some hoodlums alleged to be apologists of the opposition APC in the state had unleashed unprovoked attacks on people in addition to defacing and destroying posters and billboards of the ruling party.
Barr. Ojo also appreciated the support and cooperation of the security agencies but called for more stringent professional security actions to allay the brazen state of lawlessness being daily alleged to be masterminded by one Asiri Eniba and his gang of hoodlums taking laws into their hands.

GOVERNOR ADELEKE REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO STATE INDUSTRIALISATION
● DIRECTS STRICT ENFORCEMENT OF 45 DAYS FOR PROCESSING OF C-of-O
Osun state governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has reaffirmed the commitment of his administration to the industrialisation of Osun state using a public private partnership model.
Addressing a group of Chinese investors who are setting up factories around Ile Ife on Sunday evening, the governor said the state government deliberately enforced the ease of doing business from 2022 to date to facilitate inflow of investors and industrialists, locally and internationally.
According to the governor, tax payments and administration were harmonised to remove multiple taxation on businesses, a policy he said reduced the burden on small businesses across the state.
“The state government also digitised the tax payment system alongside deployment of technology for a one stop shop for investors”, the governor noted, adding “we upgraded the state investment agency to speed up responses and services to investors.
“We remove bureaucratic bottlenecks in securing business permits. From the Ministry of Commerce and Industry to the Ministry of Land, a strict timeline is enforced to attend to businessmen and citizens alike.
“Our free trade zones neglected for more than twelve years are back on stream. We encourage foreign investors to join other investors who are already securing spaces at the free trade zone. Several companies are already taking positions in the zone.
“We pioneered the 45 day window for the processing of certificates of occupancy. Huge successes are recorded in this area. I have received calls from state clients and residents who have gotten their C-of-O within the stipulated timeframe.
“I am hereby directing that there should be no slowing down on the implementation drive. As much as I commend the ministry of land for doing a good job in the land reform sector, I task the management of the ministry never to slow down. The 45-day window must be sustained.
“Any business client experiencing any delay should directly launch complaints at the office of the Commissioner for Commerce, Commissioner for Land and as a last resort, directly to my office. We are committed to industrialising Osun under a PPP arrangement.
The governor commended the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Owa Obokun of Ijeshaland, Oba Adesuyi Haastrup and other royal fathers for their relentless push to drive investors into Osun state, noting “we deeply appreciate their passion and committment to the industrialisation of our dear state”.
Speaking earlier, the leader of the Chinese Prodigy Group of Companies, Mr. Chi, said his company is seeking to expand to Osun state after presence in six other states of the Federation.
According to him, the prodigy is a group of companies producing doors of various models, bolts, nuts and gums, assuring the governor that the firm is ready to build the factory once the land issue is resolved.
“We are committed to setting up our factory here in Osun. We will talk to our partners about opportunities presented by the Free Trade Zone. We are glad with the investment environment”, the leader of the 10 man delegation said.

COMMISSIONER COMMENDS OMO-OLUWA INITIATIVE FORUM OVER EMPOWERMENT OF OSUN CENTRAL CONSTITUENTS
The Honourable Commissioner for Commerce and Industry in Osun State, Rev. Dr. Bunmi Jenyo has commended the Omo-Oluwa Initiative Forum for prioritising the welfare and wellbeing of the people of Osun Central Senatorial District.
This was contained in the Commissioner’s Keynote address at the Osun Central Empowerment Programme organised by the senatorial aspirant, Mr. Olusegun Elijah Olasunkanmi, held at the Governor’s Hall, Leisure Spring Hotel, Osogbo on Thursday, 30th April, 2026.
The Commissioner also charged the over 200 empowerment beneficiaries, drawn across the ten local governments, to register their businesses with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), form a cooperative society and maintain meticulous records to track income, expenses and growth.
According to the Commissioner, “Omo-Oluwa Initiative Forum deserves commendation. By prioritising barbering, agro-processing, adire, liquid soap and balm production – trades with low startup costs, daily demand and export potential, you are aligning with Osun’s economic revival”.
“To our participants who are being empowered today, the starter packs you are receiving today are not handouts but seed capital. The Forum has sown the seed, your role is to nurture it into abundance”.
“Register your business promptly with the CAC via One Stop Shop at the Osun Investment Promotion Agency (OSIPA). Join or form a cooperative society for collective bargaining,access to loans and shared expertise”.
“Train others in your craft, creating a multiplier effect that turns 200 empowered individuals into 5,000 employed tomorrow”.
“Let me reassure you that Governor Adeleke’s administration will continue to prioritise an Osun where no able person is idle, and no skill is wasted. From Iwo to Ikire, Ejigbo to Ile-Ife, Osogbo to Ilesa, our message is the same, Imole de, okunkun parada!”, the Commissioner said.
GOVERNOR ADELEKE SETS RECORD STRAIGHT ON FREEDOM PARK, EXPOSES APC’S LIES, PROPAGANDA
The attention of the Honourable Commissioner for Commerce and Industry in Osun State, Rev. Dr. Bunmi Jenyo has been drawn to a frivolous, unfounded and unthinking social media post, that the State government led by Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke has sold the Nelson Mandela Freedom Park.
The assertion is not only ridiculous, it is also barbaric. It is indeed the figment of imagination of the enemy of Osun State, who have failed in their many attempts to blackmail, malign and disrepute the personality and good governance of the State Governor, especially in the economic sector.
The opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) with no blueprint, agenda or ideas about effective governance should, ordinarily be ignored but this is to set the record straight, once and for all.
The Nelson Mandela Freedom Park sits on the landed property of Federal Government, Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), but developed by the government of Osun State under Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, mainly for the purpose of Urban Renewal.
Any interested member of the public can fact-check the ownership of the Freedom Park, through the Nigerian Railway Corporation, for the record.
So, if some people, who are bereft of ideas about issue-based campaign, decency and good governance, are now making laughable allegation, they should be totally ignored.
It is abundantly clear to the public, especially the good people of Osun State that Governor Adeleke is running his government with the fear of GOD, integrity, passion and dedication to the transformation of lives of the citizens.
His Excellency, the Asiwaju of Edeland has neither sold any government property nor borrowed a dime from anyone, despite his transformative achievements in Infrastructure, Commerce and Industry, Health, Education, Agriculture and workers’ welfare in the State.
No wonder why the masses rejected the APC in the 2022 poll and are prepared to do it again, come August 15, 2026 gubernatorial election of Osun State. They have tested and tasted both governments of APC and that of Governor Adeleke. People who are obviously envious of Governor Adeleke’s sterling performance in governance should be ignored.
