The Accord Party has formally requested the Inspector-General of Police redeploy Osun State Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Gotan. This demand stems from allegations of political violence and reported killings occurring in the state as the August 15, 2026, governorship election approaches. The party leadership asserts that Gotan’s continued presence could exacerbate tensions and undermine the integrity of the electoral process. They claim the violence is directly linked to the upcoming election and necessitates a change in leadership to ensure fair and secure conditions. The Accord Party believes a new commissioner is crucial for impartial policing during the election period. The request was formally submitted to Kayode Egbetokun, the Inspector-General of Police, seeking immediate action. Vanguard News first reported the development.
