Popular singer David Adeleke, aka Davido, has urged security
agencies in Osun State to redouble their efforts to sustain peace in the state.
Davido made this known on his X page on Monday.
The musician had earlier accused the State Commissioner of
Police, Mohammed Abba, of not following the rule of law after thugs invaded all
30 local government councils in the state and killed three people.
However, he said that after reviewing the situation in the
state, he now appreciates the efforts of the Osun State CP.
According to him, it was a grave oversight not to have
acknowledged the efforts of the police.
He therefore called on residents of the state and all
stakeholders to ensure a peaceful LG election on Saturday, February 22nd.
“Further review of political developments in Osun State
revealed more facts, including several genuine efforts by the state security
agencies, including the State Commissioner of Police. The bloodshed of today
infuriated me so much that I initially heaped all the blame on the Commissioner
of Police.
“I now see that the issue is more than that of the
Commissioner of Police or other security chiefs. The needless killings today
angered me so deeply that I thought they should have been nipped in the bud.
Yet, I can see that the security agencies, led by the Commissioner of Police,
put in their best and deserve commendation.
“In memory of the innocent souls lost, human emotions
overwhelmed me and many of my friends. We did not know the Commissioner of
Police had been having sleepless nights alongside other commanders. At this
point, the contributions of the police commissioner were not fully appreciated
by me. This is a grave oversight, and I want to declare that his support for
the rule of law and the protection of peace in Osun State is hereby
acknowledged and appreciated.
“In memory of the dead and the injured, I urge the security
agencies, including the Commissioner of Police, to redouble their efforts to
sustain peace. We must allow the rule of law to prevail.
“We must also work to ensure that the local government
election scheduled for Saturday, February 22nd, is held peacefully. Achieving
this will be a crowning glory not just for politicians but for security chiefs,
including the Osun State Commissioner of Police.
“I wish the Commissioner of Police and other security
commanders the best of luck as they address the challenges of the moment.”
