Sources informed National WAVES that the State Commissioner of Police, Lawal Tanko Jimeta went to Oshiomhole’s residence on Friday and stopped him from attending any rally in view of the prevailing security situation and the coronavirus pandemic
“I can tell you for free that the rally did not hold and Oshiomhole was placed under house arrest, the CP told him that on account of the security situation in the state, he was advised to remain indoor’
The source continued ‘We all know that the deadly coronavirus has killed so many people all over the world and some people are here talking about mega rally, this idea is not people’s oriented, it is selfish and should be condemned.
