Aareonakakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, has urged the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, to redeploy the Oyo state Commissioner of police, Mrs. Ngozi Onadeko.
Adams, in a statement, on Sunday, by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Aderemi, blamed the Oyo CP for her roles in the detention of the three members of the Oodua Peoples Congress that handed over the suspected kidnapper, Iskilu Wakili, to the police.
The Yoruba generalissimo flayed the police boss over murder and arson charges raised against the trio, maintaining that such cases are capable of destroying the trust reposed in the police.
