Civil society groups, National Association of Nigerian Students and other stakeholders in Osun State , have called on the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Olatunji Disu to replace the State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Gotan.
The CSOs and other bodies under the umbrella, Network of Civil Society Groups, embarked on peaceful protest in Osogbo to raise concerns over alleged partiality and partisanship posture of Mr. Gotan.
They noted that the State Police Commissioner had failed to make any arrest or curtail the recent attacks.
The CSOs who decried the conduct of CP Ibrahim Gotan expressed disappointment that he had been treating political thugs with kid gloves and failed to checkmate political attacks in the state.
The protesters converged at the Freedom Park, carried placards, moved round major locations in the state capital including Old Garage, Oke-Fia and Olaiya.
Some of the inscriptions on the displayed placards read, “Protest Against Insecurity and Police Partiality in Osun,” “Ibrahim Gotan Must Go,” “The Osun Commissioner of Police is Bias,” “We Demand Professional Impartial and Non Partisan Policing in Osun,” “There Should Be Equal Protection and Justice for All Citizens, Regardless of Political Affiliation,”among others .
