PHOTO:Ekiti state Government alledged Police invasion of state Assembly to arrest PDP chieftains, 11 lawmakers!
According to news
report, the Ekiti State Government has alleged that armed policemen from Abuja
have now invaded the state to begin indiscriminate arrest of Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) leaders, top government officials and 11 members of the State
House of Assembly under funny allegation of stockpiling arms during the June
21, 2014 governorship election.
The government alleged
that the policemen were led by one CSP Mohammed Abubakar of the Force Criminal
Investigation Department (CID), Abuja. Fayose-Arase Special Assistant on Public
Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, who made this known in a statement
on Tuesday, said the new plot was an aftermath of the failure of the Department
of State Services (DSS) to achieve the plot of coercing the House
of Assembly members to impeach the Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose.
“Democratically, we are entitled to our views on any issue in Nigeria and we won’t succumb to intimidation and harassment from any agency of the Federal government.”
The government said the
indiscriminate arrest was to begin this (Tuesday) night and that the policemen
arrived Ado Ekiti, the State capital with Mr. TKO Aluko and APC Chairman,
Jide Awe today.
“We are aware of the arrival of policemen from
Abuja to Ekiti State with the intention of arresting 11 members of the House of
Assembly, two PDP leaders per local government and some other top officials of
the government.
“Ridiculously, the offense for which the
policemen are to embark on this indiscriminate arrest is owing to TKO Aluko
malicious outburst that those listed for arrest stockpiled arms during the
governorship election conducted in Ekiti close to two years ago.
“This plot is in
furtherance of the APC plot to destabilize the government of Ekiti State just
because of Governor Fayose’s hard stance on President Muhammadu Buhari’s
APC government policies.
“The question is, what
was the arms they claimed were stockpiled used for? Was anyone killed or
attacked during the election?
“And why is the Police
not arresting the APC Chairman, Jide Awe who is wanted for alleged murder and
TKO Aluko, who was declared wanted by the court for perjury, and instead
providing security cover for them?
“We therefore wish to
alert Nigerians on this new plot and state that Ekiti people will resist any
attempt to use the Police to harass innocent citizens of the State.
“Democratically, we are entitled to our views on any issue in Nigeria and we won’t succumb to intimidation and harassment from any agency of the Federal government.”
