The Osun State Police Command has declared two transport union leaders, Nurudeen Alowonle and Adeyemi Ojo, popularly known as Sibi, wanted over the killing of Olalekan Oyeyemi, also known as Emir, an associate of Governor Ademola Adeleke.
Commissioner of Police Ibrahim Zungura announced the development on Monday, October 19, 2026, while parading six suspects arrested in connection with the killing in Osogbo.
According to the police, Oyeyemi was shot dead on September 13 at Mayfair Motor Park in Ile-Ife when armed men reportedly invaded the area and opened fire.
The police said preliminary investigations linked the two wanted men to the incident, alleging that they mobilised individuals involved in the attack. One of the arrested suspects, Hammed Olalekan Dauda, popularly known as Jagaban, was reportedly found with a locally made firearm and allegedly claimed during interrogation that Alowonle gave him the weapon.
Six suspects have been arrested as investigations continue, while police said efforts are underway to apprehend Alowonle, Sibi and other suspects still at large.
Oyeyemi was reportedly a political associate of Governor Adeleke and a chieftain of the Accord Party. His killing has also drawn attention to disputes surrounding the control of motor parks in Osun State.
The police have yet to announce the arrest of the two wanted men. The allegations against them remain subject to investigation.
