HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES SETS UP INVESTIGATIVE COMMITTEE TO WADE INTO OSUN STATE LG CRISIS 19-02-25
By Sadiq Aminu The House of Representatives has set up Investigative Committee to wade into the Local Government Crises in Osun State that has claimed several lives in the State.
In an urgent motion of Public importance sponsored by nine members from Osun State, the House also
called on the Inspector General of Nigeria, the Director General of the Department of State Security and other security heads to immediately restore law, order, peace and tranquillity in Osun state.
The Osun State House of Representatives Caucus lead by its Leader Mr. Bamidele Salam during Plenary told members that on Monday 17th of February 2025, violence broke out in several parts of Osun state as a result of attempt to take over the administration of local governments by officials who were sacked by court judgement in November 2022.
According to Mr. Salam this violence resulted to killings and harassment by individuals and political interests in Osun State.
Adopting the motion the House urged the Attorney General of the Federation to properly advise all parties to the dispute in the control of local governments in Osun state as to the true position of the law and encourage aggrieved parties to seek judicial enforcement of rights rather than use of force.
