Civil Society Organisations in Osun State have threatened to embark on mass protests over alleged police brutality, saying it is high time the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, investigated officers involved in the alleged inexcusable shooting of Osun Park Management System Chairman, Nurudeen Iyanda Alowonle.

The Civil Society coalition, which made the demand yesterday at a press conference in Osogbo addressed by their spokesperson, Olanrewaju Stephen, said mass protests that may lead to another round of #EndBadGovernance in Osun State might be inevitable if the police authority does not act.
It would be recalled that Nurudeen Iyanda Alowonle, who is currently receiving treatment at the Osun State University Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, was shot by men of the Nigerian police anti-kidnapping squad in the early hours of Tuesday, November 19, 2024,

The groups specifically called for the arrest, prosecution and removal of the officer involved within a week, insisting that his leadership has been filled with cases of attacks on innocent citizens.

“Before this particular shooting of Alowonle, there were widespread allegations of high-handedness, indiscriminate arrests, extortion, and unannounced killings by the same anti-kidnapping unit of the Osun Police Command “.

The groups urged the IGP to caution his men in Osun against any form of extrajudicial killings witnessed in times past, as it can further disrupt the peace of the state, saying that the #EndSARS protest was about the overzealousness of law enforcement agents.
