Senator representing Osun West at the Senate, Ademola Adeleke has been detained by the Police in Abuja, after he honoured an invitation at the Force Headquarters on Monday.
The PDP gubernatorial candidate in the 2018 governorship election in Osun state had been granted permission by The Federal High Court in Abuja, to travel to the United States of America for medical check-up and also ordered to honour a fresh Police invitation on Monday before travelling the next day, Tuesday, May 7.
Reacting to the arrest, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbindiyan, said the Police action was in total disregard for the extant order of the Federal High Court.
“This is highly provocative, an invitation to anarchy and recipe for a very serious crisis, not only in Osun, but also in the judiciary and our polity as a nation,” he stated.
He added, “The arrest and detention of Senator Adeleke is a direct act of violence against our laws, the institution of the judiciary and the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
“This is part of the grand plot by the All Progressives Congress to coerce Senator Adeleke to relinquish the mandate that was freely given to him by the people of Osun State, which was further established by the election petitions tribunal.”
