The Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in Kwara State,Engr. Sulaiman Bolakale Kawu, has expressed a loss of confidence in the state Commissioner of Police, Ojo Adekimi, over alleged arrests, detention and repeated police invitations involving party members. In a statement issued in Ilorin on Monday, Kawu’s media office also raised concerns over the reported use of tear gas during a peaceful procession at the Emir’s palace, attended by the candidate, Senator Saliu Mustapha and other political figures.
