The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has berated Governor Ayodele Fayose over the clampdown on students leaders in the state.

According to the opposition party, the National Vice-President, External, National Association of Nigerian Students, Tosin Ogunkuade, was arrested on the order of the Governor for addressing the crowd during the presidential campaign of the party in the state on Saturday.

A statement by the APC State Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, said Ogunkuade’s offence was that he highlighted the challenges facing Nigerian students, saying the present efforts by the government were not capable of redressing the hardships faced by the students in accessing quality education.

“He said to the applause of hundreds of students in attendance that Buhari presented a better hope for students in their educational pursuits,” Olatubosun said.

Olatubosun said thugs trailed Ogunkuade to‎ Ikogosi-Ekiti just 24 hours after he spoke, “where he and other students were attacked with deep machete cuts.

“After these students were attacked at Ikogosi, they ran to Efon-Alaye Police Station to report the matter. To our surprise, the police detained them before they were transferred to Aramoko-Ekiti Police Station.

“To our shock again, just this morning, one of their colleagues, Damilare Bewaji, who went to visit them at the Aramoko Police Station, was also arrested and detained by the police on the order of the governor,” he added.

Olatunbosun described the arrest as one in the series of other attacks on the APC sympathisers and supporters after the weekend campaign.However, Fayose, in a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, announced that four APC thugs had been arrested by the police.

“The thugs were arrested with guns, axes, cutlasses and other dangerous weapons while trying to escape through Efon-Alaaye at about 3am today.

“The thugs were Odebunmi Idowu (from Ilupeju-Ekiti), Aliyu Yusuf (from Ibadan), Oladayo Obikoya (from Ikogosi) and Ogunkuade Oluwatosin (aka Jasper).

“They were arrested in a red-coloured Nissan Sunny with registration number Ekiti AH 176 EFY, and were moved to the Aramoko-Ekiti police station, where they were detained briefly before they were moved to the Police Headquarters, Ado-Ekiti,” the statement said.

The Ekiti Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Victor Babayemi, did not answer calls placed to his phone.

He had yet to respond to a text message from our correspondent as of press time.

Also, student union leaders contacted on Monday on the development kept mute .

I hate the political party call PDP cus there just to desperate for power.

P D P = PEOPLE DEMONIC PARTY
TAN = THIEF ASSOCIAION OF NIGERIA
IBADAN =IGBO BOYS ARE DANGEROUS AT NIGHT

FAYOSE will be the downfall of GEJ in South West.

You cannot cry more than the bereaved NAH.

But let cry on, he will soon WAIL AND GNASH HIS TEETH.

His days are numbered.

Why Fasoye dey fall Ekiti people hand na, this guy is dictatorial and PDP should better warn him to stop the act.

Fayose hope you won't be impeached the second time.....or end his tenure behind BARS!!!
Like Uncle Bode George.

My brothers n sisters in ekiti deserve so much more than this retardee. How did they ever think fayose was gonn turn out good!

I'v said it over and over again that it's only people without the believe and love for a better Nigeria that supports pdp. What good has this party offered Nigeria and Nigerians in the past 6years?

Nothing but hate, lawlessness, oppression, disregard to the rule of law, corruption, high scale murder. It's important that the wrongs in this nation are corrected now!

Vote Wisely.

But how will thugs attack people in Ikogosi, and they will go all the way to Efon Alaye police station to make report? Hmmmmm there is something fishing here

Fayose Horror Movie now in every cinema in Ekiti. What a shame.

If we say pdp is a terrorist party some mumu would be saying trash
ur day are numbered just let buhari take over aso rock

What Fayose is practicing in ekiti is not democracy.Its pure dictatorship.
What he fails to realise is that records are being taken and woe betide him if GEJ loses.
His atrocities are becoming so nauseating an impeachment in a saner setting would be welcome by all.
Whatever babalawo that guy worships, because am sure he doesn't worship God,the man should be praying hard because his future doesn't luk bright at all.

Fayose will be tied to a table on MAY 30th 2015 in eagle square Abuja and every single Nigerian citizen will give him two lashes with a four mouth koboko before he is moved to kuje prison for onward remittance to kirikiri.

Ekiti ppl asked for it & they are now feeling it, Fayose should have it at the back of his mind that he's gonna vacate that seat one day, my fellow Nigerians let vote in CHANGE in order to put an end to this era of impunity.
