IG of Police Is a Blackmailer Who Plays to the Gallery – Osun Information Commissioner, Kolapo Alimi
The Osun State Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi, has strongly criticised the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, accusing him of "playing to the gallery" during his recent visit to Osun State and alleging that his comments were politically motivated.
Speaking during a podcast aired on Sunday in both Yoruba and English, Alimi described the Inspector-General as a "blackmailer" whose conduct was allegedly intended to serve the interests of the opposition APC rather than uphold professional policing.
According to the Commissioner, the Inspector-General's public comments suggesting that Governor Ademola Adeleke was harbouring suspected criminals in the Government House were inappropriate and inconsistent with the conduct expected of the nation's highest-ranking police officer.
Alimi said: "A truly unbiased and professional police officer would have discussed the issue with the Governor behind the scenes instead of making such uncomplimentary and unsubstantiated remarks in the presence of journalists. That was done in bad faith. That is a subtle blackmail to destroy the reputation of the Governor. That is playing to the gallery to seek public validation. That was unbecoming of a professional and diligent Inspector-General of Police. A diligent police officer should have got the touted criminals arrested before even coming to Osun if truly the Governor is harbouring criminals."
The Commissioner maintained that the Inspector-General's remarks were biased and politically motivated, alleging that they were aimed at advancing the interests of the APC rather than ensuring impartial law enforcement.
It will be recalled that during his meeting with Governor Ademola Adeleke last Thursday, the Inspector-General of Police stated that he had been briefed by the Commissioner of Police in Osun State that some wanted suspects, including Emir Ajagungbade, Nurudeen Alowonle, Solomon Adefioye (popularly known as Solo Iwara), Jide Jọda and other persons on the police wanted list, were allegedly taking refuge within the Osun State Government House, thereby preventing their arrest by the police.
Governor Adeleke, however, rejected the allegation, insisting that no wanted criminal was being shielded within the Government House.

Most Nigerians know Dongoyaro as that bitter tree people boil for malaria, use as a chewing stick, or plant around their homes for shade.
But this same tree can make insects “forget” how to eat, naturally protect crops without chemicals, preserve wood from termites for years, and has earned a reputation as one of the most useful trees on Earth?
The best part?
Almost every part of the tree - from its leaves to its seeds and bark has a purpose.
Interesting facts about Dongoyaro( Neem Tree)
• Dongoyaro, also known as the Neem tree (Azadirachta indica), gets its popular Hausa name from dogo yaro, meaning “tall boy”, because of its fast, upright growth.
• The tree produces a natural compound called azadirachtin that disrupts the growth and reproduction of many insect pests, making it one of nature’s most famous pesticides.
• Instead of relying on a single chemical, neem contains many different bioactive compounds that help protect the tree from insects and disease.
• Long before modern toothbrushes became common, people used neem twigs as chewing sticks because they release natural antibacterial substances while you chew them.
• The tree thrives in extremely hot, dry conditions and is widely planted in parts of Northern Nigeria to help fight desertification.
• Crushed neem leaves and seeds have been used traditionally to protect stored grains and farm soils from certain pests.
• Neem wood is naturally resistant to many insects, including termites, which makes it valuable for outdoor use.
• The tree has been used in traditional medicine for centuries across Asia and Africa, earning the nickname “the village pharmacy.”
• Neem seed oil is very concentrated and should be used carefully, especially around children and animals.
• Unlike many harsh chemical pesticides, neem products are generally considered less harmful to many beneficial insects and other animals when used appropriately.
• Farmers often plant neem around homes and farms because it provides shade, improves the environment, and helps reduce pest pressure naturally.
• The United Nations once described the neem tree as one of the most promising trees of the 21st century because of its potential in agriculture, health, and environmental protection.
• A mature neem tree can survive drought, poor soils, and intense heat that would stress many other trees.
A Neem tree can live and produce fruit for up to 200 years!
Neem tree is one of the wonders of nature, when next you see Neem tree or Dogoyaro say a silent thank you bcs it's a wonderful tree beneficial for mankind.

Guy: Oga, I am getting married in Enugu and sending you an invitation.
Me: Congratulations! The only thing is that I won't make it as I hardly travel to Nigeria.
Guy: Oga, I know but you can send your transport fare.
I am still wondering how to respond. We are acquaintances and not close friends. He did something for me once and I was grateful. I am in his debt but this is unexpected.
If I was not going to be there, why should I send transport fare? I would prefer to help in another way and in kind. Wedding registries need to become more popular.
This brings another issue of the obligations friends and family impose without considering that you may have not included them in your plans and budgets. Any contingency budgeting I do is for medical emergencies and not needless events.
I have a policy of not doing any funeral contributions anymore. They have also stopped adding me on WhatsApp groups for those things.
One friend made me the Chairman of his Catholic church’s harvest twice. I have never been to the church. I warned him the third time he tried it and stopped giving.
I prefer to give with joy rather than to give with a grudge. I have far too many family obligations already to do charity. My closest friends know and understand this. Some even sent me money recently when they heard that I had surgery and was at home. I didn't ask them for it but I was very grateful. They know I would do much more for them when I can.
