CSOs Threaten Legal Action Against Oyetola Over Alleged Plans to Disrupt Peace in Osun State



The Coalition of Civil Society Organizations for Good Governance (CCSOGG) has issued a stern warning against former Osun State Governor and current Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, alleging that he is orchestrating a plan to lead hoodlums and compromised security agents in a forceful takeover of Local Government Area Secretariats across the state.

In a press statement released today and signed by Olalekan Johnson, CCSOGG expressed deep concerns over reports that Oyetola intends to disrupt the peace and stability enjoyed by residents of Osun State under the administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke. The organization claims that Oyetola's actions are purportedly being justified by a non-existent ruling from the Court of Appeal that allegedly reinstated former local government chairmen from the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“This brazen plan to use non-state actors to unleash violence and intimidate law-abiding citizens is not only illegal but also a deliberate attempt to destabilize the state for selfish political gains,” the statement read. CCSOGG emphasized that such actions are particularly alarming given Oyetola’s influential role within the current federal administration, led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The coalition condemned what they described as a calculated effort to instigate civil unrest, warning that any attempts to disrupt the peace will be met with lawful resistance. “The people of Osun have enjoyed relative peace, and any attempt to disrupt this will not go unanswered,” they asserted.

Moreover, CCSOGG criticized the silence of security agencies in the state in light of Oyetola’s alleged threats of violence. They placed these agencies on notice, stating that any consequent loss of life or property due to Oyetola’s purported actions will be attributed to their negligence.

In a decisive stance, CCSOGG vowed to escalate the matter to local and international legal bodies, including the International Criminal Court (ICC), should any harm come to innocent citizens as a result of the alleged invasion plan.

The coalition called on the people of Osun State to remain vigilant against unlawful aggression and urged Governor Adeleke to take immediate action against individuals or groups seeking to undermine the state’s stability.

As the tension rises, the CCSOGG remains committed to upholding good governance, democracy, and the fundamental rights of the citizens, reiterating that any act of lawlessness will meet with appropriate legal and civic responses.

Court Sets Aside Arrest, Remand, Wanted Declaration Against Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi

A Magistrate Court sitting in Ogba, Ikeja, Lagos, has set aside its earlier ex-parte order authorizing the arrest, remand, and “wanted” declaration of Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi, also known as Hammed Ajiran. The development follows the earlier declaration of Akanbi as wanted for alleged multiple murder by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Moshood Olorundare Jimoh, on February 19, 2026. However, in a ruling delivered today, Magistrate L.A. Owolabi of Magistrate Court 3 nullified the ex-parte order initially granted on February 16, 2026. In his decision, Magistrate Owolabi held that the order was obtained through the concealment of material facts. The court specifically noted that the counsel who filed and argued the application, Nosa Watson Uhumwangho, was under suspension by the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee at the time and therefore lacked the right of audience before the court. The ruling sparked jubilation among members of the youth wing of the Ojomu royal family, who...

Court Cautions Police, Orders Proper Invitation of Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi

A Lagos State Magistrate Court has cautioned the Lagos State Police Command and directed that proper procedures be followed in the handling of the case involving Mr. Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi, also known as Hammed Ajiran, in what is seen as a setback for individuals including Bashir Fakorede, Jide Akinloye, and Assistant Inspector-General of Police, AIG Jimoh Moshood. Presiding over proceedings in the Ogba Magisterial District, Magistrate A. J. Odueke, in Charge No: MISC/126/2026, held that the police must formally invite Akanbi rather than declare him wanted. The Court further stated that an order for arrest would only be considered if he fails to honour such an invitation. The Court noted that it was mindful of previous proceedings in Charge No: MCIK/60A/2026, where a similar application had earlier been set aside by another Magistrate on March 23, 2026, on the grounds of illegality. Consequently, the Court declined to entertain what it described as a repetition of a defective process. ...
