Adeleke’s campaign council has called on the Osun State Police Command to arrest a suspect linked to the alleged assassination attempt on the APC Director-General and release the full confession video, raising concerns over inconsistencies in the case.
The controversy surrounding the alleged assassination attempt on the Director-General of the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign in Osun State has taken a fresh turn, with Governor Ademola Adeleke’s campaign council demanding immediate action from the police. The council insists that authorities must arrest the suspect involved and release the complete confession video to clear growing doubts surrounding the investigation. According to reports monitored by Valid9ja, the latest demand has added another layer to the political tension already building ahead of future elections in the state.
The Adeleke Campaign Council made its position known while reacting to reports of a confession allegedly made by a suspect linked to the case. The council questioned why only selected portions of the video were made public, arguing that the edited version has created more confusion than clarity. Valid9ja gathered that the council believes the full recording should be released to Nigerians so the public can independently assess what the suspect actually said. It also challenged the Osun State Police Command to explain what it described as contradictions in the investigation and ensure that every individual connected to the alleged plot is treated according to the law.
According to information obtained by Valid9ja, the campaign council further urged security agencies not to allow political interests to influence the handling of the matter. The group maintained that if the authorities have sufficient evidence against any suspect, appropriate legal action should follow immediately. However, it stressed that investigations must remain transparent and credible to avoid creating the impression that the case is being manipulated. The council said releasing the complete confession video would help remove doubts and restore public confidence in the police investigation.
The development has continued to attract reactions from political observers and residents of Osun State. While supporters of the APC believe the alleged assassination attempt should be thoroughly investigated and those responsible prosecuted, members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have questioned some of the details that have emerged so far. As a result, both parties are calling for fairness, although they differ on how the investigation has been handled. Political analysts believe the case has become significant because it comes at a time when political activities in Osun are gradually gathering momentum, making every major development likely to influence public perception.
This issue matters because confidence in security agencies is essential during politically sensitive periods. Whenever allegations involving political figures arise, Nigerians expect law enforcement authorities to conduct investigations openly, professionally and without bias. If important evidence is withheld or appears incomplete, it can fuel speculation, deepen political divisions and reduce public trust in the justice system. For that reason, many observers believe the police have a responsibility to provide clear information while allowing the legal process to take its full course.
The calls by Adeleke’s campaign council for the release of the complete confession video and the arrest of any suspect found culpable reflect the growing demand for transparency in politically sensitive investigations. Regardless of political affiliation, Nigerians deserve a process that is open, fair and guided strictly by evidence. As investigations continue, the public will be watching closely to see whether the police provide the clarity needed to strengthen confidence in the rule of law rather than deepen political controversy.
