ARMED POLICEMEN FROM ABUJA HAVE
NOW INVADED EKITI 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 POLICEMEN WERE LED BY ONE CSP
MOHAMMED ABUBAKAR OF THE FORCE
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT
( CID) , ABUJA .

SPECIAL ASSISTANT ON PUBLIC
COMMUNICATIONS AND NEW MEDIA ,
LERE OLAYINKA, WHO MADE THIS
KNOWN IN A STATEMENT ISSUED 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.

THE GOVERNMENT SAID THE
INDISCRIMINATE ARREST WAS TO BEGIN
THIS 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
MOHAMMADU 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 WHICH 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 . ”
