The building had also served as a place of meeting for members The Osun Progressives (TOP), who are loyalists of the former Governor.

In a press release on Friday signed by Yemisi Opalola, the command’s Police Public Relations Officer stated that the Commissioner of Police, Olawale Olokode, had paid a visit to the scene of the shooting for an on-the-spot assessment and assured that the perpetrators would be brought to book.

She also revealed that Olokode had directed the command’s tactical teams to embark on a rigorous and intensive investigation to fish out the perpetrators in order to face the full wrath of the law.

In her words, “The CP, in his spirited efforts to fight crimes to a standstill, has rejigged the command’s security action plans in tackling any form of crime in the state.”

While promising around-the-clock security coverage, Opalola, who urged the people of the state to continue with their legitimate businesses, added that police personnel jointly with the local security outfits have been charged and drafted to the areas to maintain absolute peace.

The CP, who admonished political gladiators to play the game according to the rules, also implored members of the public to give timely and actionable information to the police in order to nip criminality in the bud.
