Wale Adedayo’s Challenge to Jonathan, IG and DG SSS

Mr. Wale Adedayo, former chief press secretary to Governor Gbenga Daniel of Ogun State, last Friday visited THISDAY newsroom. He gave two copies of his new book to two of my colleagues. I was not around. However, I have seized one of the copies. Within two days, I had finished reading the 148-page book. The book titled ‘Micro-Seconds Away From Death’ contained mind-boggling details. It contained eye-witness account of how assasination, violence, fetish practices and invocation of the power of evil forces are allegedly being employed as elements of governance in Ogun State.

Adedayo gave what many would read as a chilling account in which he did not hide his own ignoble roles in the story. I recommend that book to President Jonathan Goodluck who appointed Daniel as his co-ordinator in the South-west zone, Inspector General of Police Hafiz Ringim and Director General of the State Security Services (SSS), Mr. Ita Ekpenyong.

The security agencies need to study the content of Adedayo’s book and investigate all the claims he made in it. The individuals whose names were mentioned in connection with illegal activities should be invited for questioning.

To behave as if nothing has happened when a key actor has given clear clues on cases of illegality will further encourage acts of impunity and misuse of state powers by those who are entrusted with the powers by the electorate. This is an opportunity for Jonathan to really prove that he is ready to abide by his oath of office to enforce the laws of the land without fear or favour. We shall cross our fingers.
