Osun Transport Union Leader Fires Back Over Alleged Attack on Governor’s Son

A fresh political controversy has emerged in Osun State after the acting chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Kazeem Oyewale, denied allegations linking him to an alleged attack involving Governor Ademola Adeleke’s son, Adebayo Adeleke, popularly known as B-Red.

The accusation surfaced after state officials claimed that individuals allegedly associated with Oyewale were behind a violent incident near the Oke-Fia area of Osogbo, close to the Government House.

Speaking during an interaction with journalists on Monday, Oyewale rejected the claims and described them as an attempt to tarnish his image ahead of political activities in the state. He insisted he had no connection with the alleged incident and vowed to seek legal redress over the matter.

The APC chieftain also appealed to security agencies and the presidency for protection, alleging that he and members of his group were being subjected to intimidation and harassment.

According to him, similar tactics were used against him during previous election periods, adding that he feared for his safety following what he described as repeated threats.

Oyewale further denied allegations connecting him to acts of violence and destruction of political materials, maintaining that he was being unfairly blamed whenever tensions arose within rival political camps.

He urged his supporters to remain peaceful and law-abiding, while insisting that any accusations against him should be proven with credible evidence rather than public allegations.
