A mother in Osun State has appealed to Governor Ademola Adeleke and the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, to release the bodies of her two sons for burial, one year after they died during an incident in Akinlalu.

The woman, Oyebamiji, said her sons, Ismaila and Sefiu, were among four people killed during the incident on September 30, 2025.

She appealed to the state and Federal Government to intervene and enable the affected families to retrieve the bodies and conduct burial rites.

The appeal comes a year after the incident as the affected families continue to seek closure and the opportunity to conduct burial arrangements.
