Hours To Osun Election by Mcweber(m): 7:17am On Aug 09, 2014
A major clampdown on the homes of leaders of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) began in Osun
State at nightfall on Friday, featuring armed and
masked security agents.
Sporadic shooting was also heard, striking terror
into neighborhoods according to reports filed by
citizens in Osun state.
The Government Reservation Area home of
Senator Bayo Salami was invaded by armed
soldiers and security agents at midnight, as was
the country home of the first civilian Governor of
Osun State, Alhaji Isiaka Adeleke.
The entrance gate of Salami’s house was forced
open by the hooded security agents who fired
sporadically to gain entrance into the sprawling
compound to arrest him.
The homes of the National Publicity Secretary of
APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, and that of the State
Secretary of APC, Prince Gboyega Famoodun, were
also invaded at midnight by armed soldiers.
Also under arrest by armed soldiers and hooded
security agents from their homes on Friday night
were the State Commissioner for Home Affairs,
Culture and Tourism, Alhaji Sikiru Adetona Ayedun;
the Commissioner for Agriculture and Food
Security, Mr. Wale Adedoyin; the Executive
Secretary of Osogbo Local Government, Mr. Isiaka
Faramade; the House of Assembly member
representing Obokun and Ilesa State
Constituencies, Hon. Femi Fafiyebi; as well as
Folarin Fafowora.
APC agents in Ifelodun and Ede South Local
Governments were also being arrested at the time
of distribution of election materials by officials of
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
but those of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
were excluded.
The Ede South Local Government chairman of APC,
Alhaji Surajudeed Opalola, was also arrested by
the security agents, who were led by the Youth
Leader of PDP in the council.
Also arrested and whisked to the office of the State
Security Service was Mr. Sunday Dare, a
communication expert.
Kunle Oyatomi, an APC spokesman, said in a swift
reaction that the wave of arrests and intimidation
would further deepen defeat of the PDP.
"It is a shame this is happening. This is
democracy and our people are resolute on electing
the leader they can trust," Oyatomi said.
Saharareporters learns that all the APC leaders
arrested were later released by the security
agents.
