Na wa o! This Osun matter ehn, e just dey confuse person. So, the Speaker, Adewale Egbedun, don come out dey yarn say the Commissioner of Police actually ordered the arrest of the SSG, Teslim Igbalaye. And this one con dey contradict wetin the police themselves dey claim. Na so we go dey receive different versions of the truth for this country?
My people, make we reason this thing. If the Speaker, who is supposed to be a principal officer of the state, is saying the CP gave an order, and the police themselves are denying it, wetin dey happen for background? Is it a case of internal wrangling, power play, or just plain confusion? Or maybe, just maybe, someone is trying to cover something up.
This kind of incident no good for the image of governance, especially when it involves security agencies. E dey make citizens begin lose trust. How many times we go hear one story from one side, and another completely different story from another side? E be like say una don carry una destiny throway for gutter, where accountability no dey exist.
Make we ask ourselves:
- Why would the Speaker make such a claim if it wasn't true? What's his stake in it?
- If the police are denying it, are they protecting someone, or is there a genuine misunderstanding?
- What exactly led to this alleged arrest order in the first place?
This is not just about Osun State; it's a reflection of a deeper systemic issue where transparency often takes a backseat. We need clear, unambiguous communication from our leaders and institutions, not this back-and-forth that leaves the common man scratching his head. Until we start demanding truth and consistency, these kinds of 'he said, she said' dramas go continue to plague us. E don do! Make dem tell us the real gist, abeg.
