The presidential candidate for the African Action Congress in the 2023 general election, Omoyele Sowore has called for the immediate release of Taniolohun, a traditionalist in Kwara State.
In a tweet on his X page on Tuesday, Sowore also demanded that the Kwara State Commissioner of Police, Ebunoluwarotimi Adelesi, be fired for allegedly handling the ongoing religious conflict in the state improperly.
The #RevolutionNow convener and human rights activist said that the police chief was manipulating events in the state’s continuous disputes between Muslims and traditional worshippers.
He wrote, “#FreeTaniOlohunNow: This Kwara CP is playing to the gallery, pretending as though she is not biased against Tani Olohun.
“The fact that she had to hold a meeting with the family of a “wanted man” begging them to ask him to surrender shows that she was just playing mind games.
“She didn’t declare him wanted for weeks since he allegedly committed the offence until all circulated his video.
