The Ekiti state government has explained why it raised the
alarm over possible death of Afolabi Akanni, a member of the
state House of Assembly.


Yesterday Lanre Ogunsuyi, the information commissioner, at
an emergency press conference said that the legislator
developed an ailment midnight of Thursday and died at dawn.
A few hours later, the Department of State Services (DSS)
presented Afolabi before the reporters
in Abuja to prove that the claim of the Ekiti state government
was false.


Premium Times reports that Lere Olayinka, the special
assistant to the governor on public communications and new
media, cleared the air and gave the explanation while briefing
journalists on Friday, March 18.

“We wish to reiterate that the state government addressed the
press yesterday, based on the information available to it and
since the DSS was not talking to anyone concerning the status
of Hon Afolabi Akanni and others in its custody, the
government had no option than to bring the disturbing
information to the public domain and also call for calm among
residents of the state.”

“From the pictures of Hon. Akanni that we saw on television
and published in the newspapers, it is without doubt that he is
terribly sick and in need of urgent medical attention, and the
disturbing information about his death could have been
informed by his critical state of health. Hon. Akanni even told
journalists that he slumped twice yesterday and that he was
refused access to medication.
“Evidently and as even reported in the newspapers today, the
Hon. Akanni paraded before the press by the DSS yesterday
was very sick.
“The press reported that he could not stand on his feet and we
wish to ask the DSS whether it actually wants him (Akanni) to
die!” the statement read in part.

Olayinka described the claim by the DSS that it detained
Akanni for committing security breach and that it was not
aware of a court order on his release as “ridiculous and open
display of contempt for the rule of law”.


“If truly the DSS has facts and evidences that Hon. Akanni
committed offence of security breach, why not charge him to
court and prosecute him with the facts and evidences before
the service? Or is the DSS waiting for Hon. Akanni to supply
evidences with which he will be prosecuted?” he wondered.


Olayinka also wondered why Toyin Ojo, the state commissioner
for finance, was invited by the DSS.

“For clarity, Chief Toyin Ojo was asked by the DSS
investigators how much was refunded to Ekiti state by the
federal government on federal roads constructed/rehabilitated
by the state government and how ecological fund released to
the state was spent.

He was also asked how Governor Ayodele
Fayose election was funded. How are these issues related to
the security of Nigeria? What is the business of the DSS with
the finances of Ekiti state?” he asked.

Commenting on the invasion of the state House of assembly,
Governor Ayodele Fayose stressed that the government and the
people of the state would never be intimidated
to surrender governance to political desperadoes.
