Osun Government Accuses Police of Unlawful Raids on Officials’ Homes The Osun State Government has accused the Osun State Police Command of carrying out what it described as a series of unlawful invasions and attacks on the homes of senior government officials without obtaining proper search warrants. According to the state government, the latest incident involved the residence of the Secretary to the State Government SSG, which it alleged was entered by police officers without following due legal process. Officials described the operation as part of a pattern of intimidation targeting members of the state administration. The government expressed concern over what it called the systematic harassment of its officials, arguing that such actions undermine the rule of law and could heighten political tensions in the state. It urged the police to respect constitutional rights and ensure that all law enforcement operations are conducted in accordance with legal procedures.

The allegations come amid ongoing political tensions in Osun State, with the government calling for restraint and adherence to due process by security agencies. It also appealed to relevant authorities to investigate the incidents and prevent any actions that could threaten public confidence in law enforcement. The police have yet to publicly respond to the latest allegations, while the controversy is expected to fuel further debate over the conduct of security agencies and the relationship between state governments and federal law enforcement authorities.
