Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has dismissed allegations levelled against him by the Osun State Peoples Democratic Party, stating he’s too busy to respond to “careless talks.”
The Osun PDP had accused Egbetokun of colluding with the All Progressives Congress to enforce a “non-existent” court order aimed at reinstating former local government chairmen in the state.
Egbetokun clarified that the deployment of additional police personnel to Osun was strictly in response to the request of the state’s Commissioner of Police for reinforcement.
“I read about the allegations, but I refuse to dignify such absurdity with a response,” Egbetokun said. “I believe in challenging the distortion of facts. We will not allow the distortion of facts against us to go unchallenged.”
He urged the people of Osun to remain calm and go about their normal activities, stating that the state is currently calm.
This development comes amid tensions between the Osun PDP and the police, with the party accusing Egbetokun of planning to destabilize the state and potentially assassinate Governor Ademola Adeleke
