REPORT ON THE PEACEFUL PROTEST AGAINST POOR POWER SUPPLY IN OSOGBO

Yesterday, the youths of Osogbo took a bold and united stand in a peaceful protest against the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) over the persistent lack of adequate power supply in our city.

As a body committed to the development and progress of our dear town, ODAG was fully present to show solidarity with the people. Electricity is not a luxury; it is a basic necessity for businesses, education, healthcare, and daily living. Unfortunately, the continued epileptic power supply has been affecting livelihoods, stifling small businesses, and slowing down economic growth in Osogbo.

It will be recalled that ODAG paid a visit to the IBEDC Osogbo Business Hub Office on the 20th of November, 2025, where the management assured the delegation that efforts would be made to improve power supply, particularly in the indigenous areas of Osogbo. However, the promise has not been fulfilled, as the situation has continued to deteriorate day by day.

The protest, which was conducted peacefully, demonstrated the frustration and concern of residents who have endured prolonged periods of unreliable electricity. Many households and business owners have suffered losses due to the unstable power supply, while students and health facilities continue to struggle with inadequate electricity.

We commend the resilience, unity, and courage of the youths who came out peacefully to demand better service delivery. Their action reflects the collective desire of the people of Osogbo for meaningful change and improved public services.

Our demand remains simple and clear: stable, reliable, and consistent electricity supply for the people of Osogbo.

We therefore call on the management of IBEDC and all relevant authorities to urgently address this issue and prioritize the welfare of residents. Immediate and practical steps must be taken to improve electricity distribution in Osogbo and restore public confidence.

Osogbo deserves better.
Our voices must be heard.

Osun Police Arrest 12 Suspected Cultists, Recover Fi****ms, Vehicles, and Charms

In a renewed crackdown on cultism and related crimes, the Osun State Police Command has arrested twelve suspected members of a notorious unlawful society and recovered fi****ms, vehicles, and other exhibits in a series of operations across the state.

According to a statement signed by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abiodun Ojelabi, the arrests followed multiple coordinated raids led by the Anti-Cultism Unit under the directive of the State Commissioner of Police, CP Ibrahim Gotan.

The suspects identified as Dolapo Abioye (27), Olaoye Tunde (26), Olanrewaju Emmanuel (24), Ganiyu Saheed (25), Ashifat Ishaq (25), Ayoola Sodiq (26), Blessing Olayele (23), Gbadamosi Ibrahim a.k.a. “Gbedu” (35), Kehinde Folashade (28), Oluwasegun Michael (26), Okupe Boluwatife (20), and Kilako Ismail Damilare a.k.a. “Killer” (22) were apprehended in separate sting operations in Iree, Iragbiji, and Osogbo.

Recovered items include:
• Two Toyota Camry vehicles (registration numbers KJA 210 JM and GGE 961 JA)
• An unregistered black motorcycle
• Three locally made pistols with seven live cartridges
• A UTC axe
• Various criminal charms

The first arrest took place on October 13, 2025, around 5:00 p.m., after a distress call reported that armed men suspected to be cultists had invaded Kajogbola Area in Iree, attacking residents and injuring a pharmacist.

Police operatives from the Iree Division, alongside the Anti-Cultism Unit, responded swiftly and apprehended five suspects at the scene. Further investigations led to the arrest of four more suspects at a nearby hotel.

A day later, on October 14, members of a vigilante group in Iragbiji intercepted two young men later identified as Oluwasegun Michael and Okupe Boluwatife carrying a locally made pistol and an axe. They confessed to being members of the Eiye confraternity and admitted fleeing Iree following police raids.

In a related operation on October 19, officers raided Akede Area in Oke Baale, Osogbo, where 22-year-old Kilako Ismail Damilare, known as “Killer,” was arrested with fi****ms, while other suspects escaped.

The police say investigations are ongoing and that all arrested suspects will be charged to court upon completion of the process.

Commissioner of Police, CP Ibrahim Gotan, commended the efforts of the Anti-Cultism Unit and warned that the command would continue its aggressive stance against cultism and violent crime.

He urged youths and students to shun cult-related activities and focus on their education, emphasising “The Command will not spare anyone found engaging in cultism or any other criminal act. Say no to cultism.” ゚viralシalシ
