… Seeks Justice and Compensation
Osogbo, — For families still mourning loved ones, people nursing injuries and residents counting the cost of damaged property after the Osun State governorship election, the wounds of the election may be far from over.
The Imole Campaign Council has begun finalising the documentation of victims of election-related violence across the state, saying the exercise is aimed at ensuring that those affected are not forgotten.
The Council, in a statement issued by its spokesperson, Pelumi Olajengbesi, expressed sympathy to individuals and families who suffered deaths, injuries, assaults, property destruction, arrests and other forms of violence before, during and immediately after the election.
Importantly, the Council said the documentation exercise is not party-based.
It is open to victims regardless of their political affiliation, party membership or voting preference.
According to the Council, a citizen who lost a relative, suffered an injury or had property destroyed deserves sympathy, support, justice and appropriate compensation, irrespective of political persuasion.
Members of the public who have not yet submitted information about affected persons are being asked to provide the victim’s name, location, contact or next-of-kin details, the nature of the incident, date and location, a brief account of what happened, available evidence and the victim’s current condition.
The Council said photographs, videos, medical or police reports and witness information may also be submitted to strengthen the documentation.
Reports and supporting evidence can be sent by text message or WhatsApp to +234 703 743 9142.
The deadline for submissions is Friday, August 21, 2026.
Beyond compiling names and incidents, the Council said the records are intended to provide a credible basis for pursuing justice, accountability, support and appropriate compensation for victims and affected families.
For residents who suffered during the election period, the exercise could therefore become an opportunity to have their experiences formally recorded and their losses brought into discussions about accountability.
As the political dust settles in Osun, the campaign council says the human cost of the election must not disappear from public attention.
“Osun comes first,” the Council said.
