The allegation came up as the party welcomed the newly deployed Commissioner of Police, Mr. Kola
Shodipo, and asked him to "look seriously into the menace of Osun State
government killer squad named "state boys".
The
party, in a statement issued by Prince Diran Odeyemi, its Director of Media and Strategy, lamented that "Governor Rauf Aregbesola purposely
created, financed and armed state boys to terrorize Organisations and
individuals opposed to his style of governance in the state"
Prince
Odeyemi thus urged the new commissioner to ensure the safety of
lives and properties of Osun people and caution Governor Aregbesola against
terrorizing the people of Osun state with thugs.
"We
appeal to the new Police boss to be professional and live up to his
high ratings, the purpose of which the Inspector General of Police
deemed it fit to post him to Osun state"
The
PDP while making reference to the statement credited to Governor Rauf
Aregbesola, when he received the police boss last week that he had
invested in the police more than all other states in the last 5 years,
Odeyemi described such statement as "bogus, absolute lie and self
glorification".
"The new CP as a
test should ask Ogbeni Aregbesola to hand over to him the helicopter he
claimed to have bought for the Police for surveillance purposes in the
state and also look into the numbers of Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC)
said to have been supplied to the police by the governor and their
conditions in less than 3 years of purchase".
"We
also want to inform the new CP that part of Governor Aregbesola's investment
on the police is the N5,000 monthly allowance to all lower ranks the
purpose of which we believe is to get police support against opposition
parties in the state"
"We are
making all these known to the new CP for him to be wary of the antics of the Governor and the All Progressives Congress in the course of discharging his duties.
While wishing Mr Shodipo a successful tenure and praying for divine guidance for him, the
opposition party advised Mr. Shodipo to remain very professional in
handling complaints and issues in the state.
