The All Progressives Congress (APC) and Governor Ademola Adeleke's campaign team are embroiled in a fierce exchange regarding the alleged release of notorious criminals in Osun State. The APC claims that Adeleke has used his prerogative of mercy to free hardened criminals, suggesting that this is a strategy to incite chaos before the upcoming elections on August 15. Specific individuals named by the APC include those convicted of serious crimes such as murder and sexual assault. In response, Adeleke's camp vehemently denies these allegations, asserting that the governor has not pardoned anyone in the past two years. The Imole Campaign Council has also called on the Inspector General of Police to ensure a violence-free election, citing concerns over police harassment and the safety of their members. This ongoing dispute highlights the tense political atmosphere as the election date approaches.
