The Inspector General of Police, IGP Olukayode Egbetokun has said that he will not dignify any allegation levelled against him by the Chairman Osun State Chapter Of The Peoples Democratic Party, that he is destabilising the state with orchestrated violence or he is trying to mapped-out plans to assassinate the Osun State Governor Adeleke, stressing that he will not give such absurdity with a response.
IGP Egbetokun said this today at the decoration ceremony of the newly promoted Assistant Inspector General of Police, AIGs and Commissioners of Police, CPs at the Force Headquarters in Abuja.
IGP Egbetokun while addressing journalists said, he read the allegation but he refused to dignify such absurdity with a response that believes in challenging the distortion of facts. He will not allow the distorted facts against the Nigeria Police Force to go unchallenged.
"But statements that are clearly contrary to reasoning don't deserve our response. I am too busy for careless talks. I will not respond to such absurdity.
He further explained that he responded to the call of the Osun State Commissioner of Police for reinforcement when violence broke out in the state, noting that the NPF has reinforced the Command, and there are enough men on the ground to ensure that there is law and order in that state and to ensure that there is no more break down of law and order in Osun State.
IGP Egbetokun advises the people of Osun State to remain Calm and go about their normal business and ensure that the rule of law prevails in the state. He said the state is calm and there is no more violence in the state.
SpyeTV News reports that the Chairman, Osun State Chapter Of The Peoples Democratic Party, Hon Sunday Bisi, had on Wednesday at a press conference alleged that the Inspector General Of Police, Kayode Egbetokun deliberately deployed Special Forces to escort some miscreants into the local government councils in the state.
He further described his allegations "as nothing but a blatant coup and obviously one out of the many mapped-out plans to assassinate the Governor of our dear State, Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke, whose instruction to restore peace and order as the Chief Security Officer of Osun State, was flagrantly violated by Mr Egbetokun."
Bisi said the Executive Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke has been interfacing with Egbetokun, with the sole aim of ensuring peace after the fatal fracas on Monday, occasioned by forceful attempts by the sacked chairmen and councillors purportedly elected on the platform of opposition APC before the advent of PDP administration in the state.
"The whole world must warn and prevail on Mr Kayode Egbetokun to desist from being an enabler of orchestrated attempts on the life of our Governor. These plans we want to emphasize, have been on the cards of the APC in Osun State since the good people of Osun State voted them out of office in 2022.
"The desperation to get rid of Mr Governor and take over the State through whatever means possible has been rife and clear enough since APC was shut out of government in Osun." he alleged
