Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has formally requested the Inspector General of Police to withdraw security cover for local government council officials. These officials were elected under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.

The governor's directive comes in the wake of a court judgment that has cast doubt on the legitimacy of the elected council officials. The specifics of the judgment and its implications for the officials' tenure and authority are central to the ongoing political developments in Osun State.

Governor Adeleke's call for the removal of security details signals a significant political move, potentially aimed at asserting his administration's authority and responding to the judicial outcome. The Inspector General of Police is expected to review the request and take appropriate action regarding the security arrangements for the affected officials.
