The Handshake Campaign Organisation (HANCO), official handlers of the Senator Olufemi Lanlehin governorship bid under the banner of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has called on the police to, without further delay, arrest Chief Bayo Adelabu, All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, over recent killings at APC campaign rallies. “But for providence two assailants who made spirited attempt to harm Chief Adelabu would have succeeded and if they had, only God knows what those calling for his arrest would be saying now. “How would Chief Adelabu as the chairman of Oyo State Security Trust Fund and who has invested his resources, energy and time to ensure that the state enjoys peace in the last two years turn around to promote violence? This is attested to by the numerous roadshows that he has undertaken, which have been widely accepted by the good people of Oyo State. “Chief Adelabu had condemned the recourse to violence and he has called on the Oyo State Police Commissioner and the state government to ensure adequate security protection for all the candidates standing for the elections.
