The Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has frowned at the sheer abuse of law enforcement to intimidate supporters, condemning the arrest of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, Hon. Sunday Bisi, in his home after he had voted as barbaric and a vicious attack on free will.

According to him, Bisi was accosted at his home in Ilesa shortly after he returned from voting and whisked away to a yet-to-be-known location. He said that, up to this moment, no one has been given the reason for his arrest, which indicates that the APC is working in cahoots with compromised security agents to keep people away from monitoring results at the various collation centres.

'This latest sweep on my supporters, I have authoritatively learnt, is part of a broader plan to give the APC unhindered access to change results at collation centres and upturn our wins at the poll. This is the biggest assault on democracy, and I urge everyone involved in this desperate attempt to upturn the will of our people through the use of state institutions.

'In that regard, I am calling for the immediate release of Hon. Bisi because his arrest is nothing but political and other political prisoners across Osun State. Election should be about the people freely giving their mandates to the person of their choice without threat or force," Adeleke said in a statement.
