Earlier, Governor Adeleke accused the state Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Gothan, of detaining Adegoke illegally and denying him bail.
However, in a statement released on Tuesday, the Police Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel Giwa-Alade, clarified that Adegoke was arrested only after repeatedly ignoring police invitations and going into hiding for nearly two weeks.
Giwa-Alade explained that a formal petition had been filed against Adegoke and another individual, Iyiola Monsuru, which prompted the police investigation.
He stated:
“Mr. Adegoke was invited to provide statements, but he went into hiding, and all efforts to reach him were unsuccessful. His accomplice, Mr. Iyiola Monsuru, was apprehended earlier. Through diligent intelligence work, Mr. Adegoke was eventually located and arrested at his hideout. During interrogation, he confessed to the alleged crime and pleaded for leniency.”
The statement noted that Adegoke was arrested on January 7, 2026, and both he and Monsuru were charged at the Federal High Court, Osogbo, on January 9, 2026.
The Police emphasized that the actions of both individuals were purely criminal in nature, asserting that the investigation was neither politically motivated nor directed at any political party or affiliate.
“The Osun State Police Command, under the leadership of Commissioner of Police Ibrahim Gothan, remains committed to professionalism, impartiality, and the protection of human rights,” the statement read.
The command rejected allegations of partisan conduct or unprofessionalism, stressing that all actions were carried out based on formal complaints, credible evidence, and strict adherence to due legal process.
