The Osun State Police Command has released the Secretary to the State Government, SSG Mr Teslim Igbalaye, from its custody.
Recall that Igbalaye was arrested along with five others for allegedly committing vote-buying-related offences, as the police recovered Permanent Voter’s Cards, PVCs, cash sums and a voters’ register from his house.
The police also identified the other suspects arrested at the residence as Abiodun Arowomole, popularly known as “Ashipa”, who was described as a wanted murder suspect on the command’s watch list, alongside Taiwo Akande, Lukman Adeyemo, Muftau Olaoye, and Musiliu Aderemi.
The command’s spokesperson DSP Abiodun Ojelabi said the SSG has been released this afternoon, but the investigation is ongoing in the matter.
“I can only tell you that the SSG, Mr Teslim Igbalaye, has been released this afternoon, and the investigation is still ongoing,” he said.
