IGP Redeploys Leye Oyebade For ‘Failing To Stop’ Pro-Amotekun Rallies In Oyo, Osun, Ogun

-

It has been learnt that the inspector general has redeployed the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of zone 11, Adeleye Oyebade.


Oyebade, who was in charge of Oyo, Osun and Ondo states, was transferred to the Nigeria Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru, Plateau State.

He was replaced with AIG Bashir Makama, who it was gathered, had resumed in Osogbo.

Sources told ThePUNCH that Oyebade was removed for failing to stop the protests in support of Operation Amotekun which held in some South-West states last Tuesday.

The rally, which was called by a group, the World Yoruba Congress, was foiled in Lagos by scores of policemen who barricaded the Gani Fawehinmi Park, Ojota, venue of the protest, preventing protesters from converging on the ground.

The protests, however, held in other South-West States as they recorded a huge turn-out in Ibadan, Osogbo, Akure and Ado Ekiti.

A source who spoke to ThePUNCH in confidence said, “AIG Oyebade has been removed by the IG for allowing the protests in support of Amotekun to hold in Ibadan, Osogbo and Akure despite knowing that the government was against Operation Amotekun.

“The police authorities were not happy that the AIG did not order the three commissioners of Police under him to stop the rally as it was done in Lagos where policemen blocked the proposed venue of the protest. The AIG has been sent to NIPSS.”

But the Force spokesman, Frank Mba, while confirming Oyebade’s deployment said he was sent to the NIPSS to fill a vacancy.

“Oyebade’s redeployment to the NIPSS should not be attributed to any other ulterior motive or primordial sentiments. It should be noted that posting to the NIPSS as a directing staff member is a privileged posting and it is reserved only for officers who are very cerebral and with proven record of core competency in general policy and administrative matters,” he said.
