The Accord and All Progressives Congress (APC) are trading accusations over the killing of a man in the Ikire area of the state on Saturday amid ongoing probe by the Osun State Police Command.
Abiodun Ojelabi, the Spokesperson of the command confirmed a man was shot dead in Ikire in the early hours of Saturday.
Accord alleged that the victim, Eluyera Kolade, son of its Woman Leader in Ikire, was killed by suspected APC thugs.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that complaints, security reports, and intelligence alerts had earlier been lodged at Ikire Police Division and Area Commander’s office over violence.
The parties called on the Inspector-General of Police, the Department of State Services (DSS) and other security agencies to conduct a transparent investigation and prosecute all those involved.
APC campaign spokesman, Kola Olabisi, urged Accord not to politicise the killing, saying “stop politicising the killing”, while sympathising with the family.
