Agents of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Ondo State Police
Command on Wednesday arrested some thugs who recently attacked Deputy
Governor Ali Olanusi in Akure, a police source told SaharaReporters.
The source disclosed that the seven thugs were arrested in a chalet inside Government
House as they reportedly were planning another attack on the deputy governor, who
recently broke with Governor Olusegun Mimiko and defected from the PDP to the APC.
Our source, who asked not to be named because of the "sensitivity of the case," also
stated that the hoodlums had been released on the orders of Governor Mimiko, who
pressured the Ondo State Commissioner of Police, Isaac Eke.
“The thugs were arrested inside the government VIP chalet where they were planning to
coordinate another attack on the Deputy governor,” said the police source.
He added: “A senior police officer from the SARS department led the team of the
officers that effected the arrest of the thugs inside the Government House, VIP chalet.
But, unfortunately, they have been released on the direct orders of the governor
who put pressure on the state Commissioner of Police to quickly release them.”
SaharaReporters exclusively obtained the names of the arrested suspects who are
mostly known by their street nicknames in Akure: Dada (Alias Bullet), Aperi, Dele Origbe,
Asin, Akin Iroko, Opejole, Ojule.
Our source said the suspected attackers are household names in the remote area of Oke
Aro in Akure.
Earlier today, a member of a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) confirmed
the arrest of the thugs, telling SaharaReporters that the thugs were well known
members of a PDP killer squad.
"I knew those guys very well, especially the one bearing ‘Aperi.’ They are Mimiko's boys.
Those guys are on the payroll of the governor. They use exotic cars and have big
houses inside the Alagbaka GRA based on the sponsorship of the governor.”
He added that the governor always used the thugs to threaten his political opponents in
the state. “One of those guys eliminated the son of a popular Akure union leader," the
PDP factional leader revealed.
Another source in the Government House confirmed the brief detention of the suspects,
but added that not all of them were caught inside the government chalet. He said two of
the thugs were arrested outside the chalet.
"They were waiting for the governor, when the police van drove inside the governor's
compound and immediately arrested them.” The source also confirmed that the governor
intervened to have the suspects released.
Shortly after the attack on him, Deputy Governor Ali Olanusi exclusively told
SaharaReporters that Governor Mimiko was planning to eliminate him.
Meanwhile the Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused
the state police boss, Isaac Eke, of being unduly biased by releasing the hoodlums
arrested yesterday for attacking the deputy governor.
In a statement, the APC’s publicity secretary, Omo’ba Abayomi Adesanya, to journalistson
Thursday in Akure, accused Mr. Eke of ignoring orders from the police zonal command in
Osogbo to investigate the attack on Mr. Olanusi.
Mr. Adesanya said the people would not tolerate any form of partisanship from the
police.
He urged Mr. Eke to immediately ensure that the perpetrators of the attack were
prosecuted.
“Mr. Eke should also be reminded that we would not tolerate a bit of what Mr. Joseph
Mbu, the former Commissioner of Police in Rivers State, did, in Ondo State.” He called
for professionalism, adding that the era of impunity was over.

Good to share

Shameless Mimiko. After he will be forming holier than thou @ his monthly divine agenda vigil.

Mimiko impeachable offence carry on your days are numbered. APC have teams that can work within the law to kick you out, so tread carefully.

Rubbish. You don't arrest someone in government house without the chief security officer's consent and approval.

this can't happen in developed counties, tht $tupid Mimiko would have been jailed with his thug. well can't wait for GMB to resume office.
