Fadipe’s Court Action Over Investigation Is Diversionary ~ Osun APC Slams SUBEB Chair

PRESS STATEMENT.         
 (29TH MARCH, 2026).

The Osun State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has taken note of the suit filed by the Chairman of แปŒsun State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Mr Ibukun Fadipe, seeking to restrain security agencies from investigating him in connection with the death of Otunba Ade Komolafe, former Chairman of DHL.

While every citizen reserves the constitutional right to approach the court, we find Fadipe’s application curious, revealing and deeply troubling. 

His attempt to preemptively block lawful security agencies from carrying out their statutory duties raises serious questions about his claims of innocence.

It is a well-known principle that a truly innocent person has nothing to fear from investigation. 

The decision by Fadipe to rush to court in a bid to halt any form of inquiry suggests a desperate effort to avoid scrutiny. 
This action, in itself, lends credence to public suspicion that there may indeed be unresolved issues surrounding the circumstances of Otunba Ade Komolafe’s death.

There is a need for the police and the relevant authorities to investigate the rationale behind the so-called Legal Advice No CR/03/2010 purportedly signed by one Ayoola Babalola of the แปŒsun State Ministry of Justice on behalf of the  Director of Public Prosecutions in June 2010 and addressed to the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Zone X1 Command Headquarters. 

The document is riddled with inconsistencies, seeming cover-up and political statement, hence the reason for the law enforcement agents to review the case to ascertain if there was no political compromise to bury the case. 

We state unequivocally that no individual is above the law, and no one should be allowed to obstruct justice under any guise. 

The Nigeria Police Force, the Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigeria Immigration Service, and other relevant agencies must be allowed to carry out a thorough, impartial, and professional review of the 2010 case in the interest of justice and public confidence.

If Fadipe is indeed innocent as he claims, he should submit himself to due process and allow the appropriate authorities to investigate and establish the truth.

 Seeking judicial cover to evade investigation only deepens suspicion and undermines public trust.

The APC in Osun State reiterates its commitment to the rule of law, transparency and justice. 

We urge all parties involved to respect the integrity of our institutions and allow justice to take its full course.

As the saying goes, the innocent fear no foe.

Mogaji KOLA OLABISI,        
Osun State APC Director of Media and Information.

Osun LG Crisis: How PDP played into the hands of APC (Part 3)

By Ismail Omipidan  This particularly piece, is deliberately not going to be a long one. It is a follow-up to the part One and Two that I shared last year. This very intervention is necessited by my appearance as a Public Affairs Analyst on News Central TV last night , where i discussed the same subject matter. It also forms part of my continued effort to contribute meaningfully to political discourse by promoting accurate information and countering the spread of unverified claims, half-truths, and propaganda. For clarity, I have presented my submissions in bullet points, titled “15 Points to Know on the Osun Local Government Crisis.” Here are the points:  1. Governor Ademola Adeleke lied when he claimed he did not sack the council chairmen and councillors he met when he assumed office.   2. On the 28th of November,  2022, barely 24 hours after his swearing-in, his CPS, Mr. Olawale Rasheed, issued a statement directing the most senior career heads ac...

_30th January,2026_ Osun Local Government Workers are allegedly asking who will help prevail on Ademola Adeleke administration on behalf of some selectively victimized local government officials, especially at this time that the administration is behaving like a mad bull in a china shop?  According to reports,virtually all Local Government officials who they perceived as not heeding their wicked calls not to support the All Progressive Congress (APC) political officials currently in charge of at the local government are being punished with suspension from work using dubious charges. In the civil service, it is a common occurrence for employees who err to be formally queried, suspended, or terminated by their employers following rigorous disciplinary proceedings. What may be deemed unusual under civil service rules and regulations is the suspension of local government staff on dubious grounds. It is noteworthy that Osun Local Government staff were suspended by the Local ...
