The Accord Party (AP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun have traded accusations over the killing of a man in Ikire area of the state on Saturday.
Abiodun Ojelabi, Spokesperson, Police command in Osun, confirmed a man was shot dead in Ikire in the early hours of Saturday.
Accord alleged that the victim, Eluyera Kolade, son of its women leader in Ikire, was killed by suspected APC thugs.
Complaints, security reports and intelligence alerts had earlier been lodged at Ikire Police Division and Area Commander’s office over violence.
The parties called on the Inspector-General of Police, DSS and others to conduct a transparent investigation and prosecute all those involved.
APC campaign spokesman, Kola Olabisi, urged Accord not to politicise the killing, saying “stop politicising the killing”, while sympathising with the family.
