A former member of the House of Representatives, Opeyemi Bamidele, has been flown to the United Kingdom for further treatment.

Our correspondent learnt that he was flown in a private jet belonging to a former Governor of Lagos State and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, on Friday night after receiving treatment at Euracare Multi-Specialists Hospital on Victoria Island, Lagos.



Bamidele and five others were shot at a reception rally organised for the All Progressives Congress candidate for the forthcoming Ekiti State governorship election, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, at the party’s secretariat in Ado Ekiti on June 1.

He was flown to Lagos last Sunday in an air ambulance after doctors at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, Ado Ekiti, extracted two bullets from his abdomen and leg.

A source told our correspondent on Saturday that Bamidele was flown to the UK on the insistence of Tinubu that he be exposed to treatment in line with best global practice. Recall that Bamidele served as a Commissioner for Information and Strategy under Tinubu.

“He (Bamidele) had started cracking jokes at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, Ado Ekiti, where a surgery was performed on him before he was flown to Lagos for further treatment,” the source said.

Bamidele’s media aide, Ahmed Salami, confirmed that his principal has been flown abroad for “post-surgery management”. He also dispelled the rumour that Bamidele was flown abroad because of fears over his health.

“He (Bamidele) is fully stabilised, so there is no cause for alarm. He only went abroad for a post-surgery management and to get prepared for the task ahead. He actually walked into the plane.”

There were also indications that the riot policeman that fired the shots that injured Bamidele and the politician he escorted from Lagos were still in police custody.

Our correspondent gathered that the Police in Ekiti have concluded the orderly room trial of the policeman said to be serving with 20MPF in Lagos and that he would soon know his fate.



The Police Public Relations Officer in Ekiti, ASP Caleb Ikechukwu, confirmed this to our correspondent in Ado Ekiti.

He said, ‘We have concluded the orderly room trial but there is a laid down procedure to follow. At the appropriate time, the public will know about it.”

Ikechukwu said the policeman was still recovering from the injuries he sustained when the mob lynched him.

He also confirmed that the unnamed politician was still in the custody of the police and would be charged to court as may be necessary for illegally engaging the services of the policeman.

Meanwhile, loyalists of Bamidele have said the shooting of their principal won’t derail their focus of actualising the victory of the APC in the July 14 election.

They pledged their commitment to the success of the APC governorship candidate, Dr Kayode Fayemi, in the election.

The decision was reached during a meeting held at the residence of a former chairman of the State Universal Basic Education Board, Mr. Akin Olayisade, in Ado-Ekiti, which was a follow-up to a meeting earlier held with Fayemi at his residence in Isan Ekiti.

hmmm word!

Them de do surgery on him
And he still de talk about winning ekiti


Mitcheew if you like no stop

What about the other five persons ?

what's their fate ?

Tinubu insisted he should be flown abroad in line with global b3st practise. The problem of Nigeria in one sentence.
The rulers know the shirt they are putting in isn't good and keep on making the masses to bear the brunt of theirbad governance.
You wonder what's wrong with Nigerian leaders, none of them seems capable of tackling the basics human wants.
Nobody thinks it necessary to prioritise anything aside from sharing crude oil revenues.

Bamidele was flown to the UK on the insistence of Tinubu that he be exposed to treatment in line with best global practice.

We the voting population of Nigeria are stuck with the medical services our political leaders have thought best for us, while they use both public funds and stolen funds to seek treatment that is in line with best global practice.

That is how the fear of arrest by UK, chased DSP Alams from Dubai hospital back to Nigeria hospital, where he eventually died. All the funds of Bayelsa that he stole and laundered to Dubai and UK, could have built the kind of hospital that was lacking in his own state. He died as a result of his own corruption, a corruption that has killed many unsung indigenes of the state through lack of basic medical facilities.

We are not yet ready to solve our problem despite having the power to. We are still shouting APC and PDP.

The comparison doesn't work in this instance. Jonathan and tinubu were not equally ranked. One is former head of state which is bigger than an ex senator. Again bamidele is not charged with any corrupt issues, but olisa metu is charged. In this case your case has been thrown into the gutter with no merrit at all

Early morning again your system don dey malfunction, don't you think you need to visit babalawo since we don't have a good health facility in Nigeria?

*he should be flown abroad for global best practises* and this is coming from same man that called gej administration irrespinsible fir nit providing world class medical services for Nigeria and used that to campaign against Jonathan now abriad is the best practices.

Honestly I'm waiting to see those who will queue up to vote for apc by 2019.

I picked this phrase, Bamidele and 5 others, yet only Bamidele got the vip treatment, where are the 5 others, what's their condition of health, hope they are taken care of, and hope the lesson is learnt, politicians will always value the life of their selves more than the ordinary citizen, irrespective of the party involved, think twice before you go all the way for them
