Sir, Section 215 (4) of the 1999 Constitution empowers you to give lawful directives to the CP; subject to the overriding directive of the IGP.
Write officially to the CP and direct him to cease & desist from attacking #EndSARS protesters in Oyo State. You've the power to do so. https://twitter.com/seyiamakinde/status/1314994613304909825

The CP cannot defy you, except on the directive of the IGP.
If the IGP gives a contrary directive, instruct your Attorney General to invoke his wide powers under Section 211 (1) (c) of the Constitution and discontinue ALL criminal charges filed against protesters in Oyo State.

The @PoliceNG should not be allowed to investigate itself over the killing of Jimoh.
Therefore, I urge you to invoke your powers under the Tribunals of Inquiry Act by constituting a Judiciary Commission of Inquiry to investigate the attack on protesters and the death of Jimoh.

Alternatively, the Coroner's Law of Oyo State should be invoked to investigate the death of Jimoh Isiaka. As a governor, you are not powerless. You're not expected to function at the mercy of the CP. If you are truly outraged by the harassment of your citizens, act as advised.
