Osun State Government has debunked reports that the police and officers of the Department of State Services (DSS) attached to Governor Ademola Adeleke have been withdrawn.
On Saturday, a group known as Osun Shall Rise Again (OSRA) claimed in a statement that the DSS had withdrawn its officers attached to Adeleke following a disagreement.
The group further said in the statement signed by its Secretary and Chairman, Saheed Bakare and Lanre Akeju, respectively that the DSS took the step after Adeleke made “unguarded utterances” before the personnel deployed to work with him.
Reacting to the rumour, Adeleke’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, said in a statement on Sunday that it was a minor disagreement between the police and the DSS.
