Oyinlola Demands Another Police Report from Aregbesola

The fake police report controversy on the Osun gubernatorial poll in 2007 re-choed as hearing continued yesterday, with counsel to Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola of Osun State asking the AC candidate in the election, Rauf Aregbesola if he had another police report to tender.
Counsel to Oyinlola, Kemi Pinheiro, SAN, who led the legal team, threw a question at Aregbesola’s counsel, Deji Sasegbon, SAN, when discrepancies were repeatedly detected in documents he sought to tender yesterday, and asked, “do you have another police report?”
The import of the question was not lost on Sasegbon who replied “no comment, no comment,” and smiled. Aregbesola is already facing a criminal charge at a Magistrate's Court in Abuja, over forgery of a police report on the 2007 governorship election in Osun State and for tendering same at the election tribunal in Osogbo, and at the Appeal Court, Ibadan.
Also yesterday the two lawyers exchanged jokes as several discrepancies were detected in the documents sought to be tendered by Aregbesola.
Consequently, as Sasegbon informed the tribunal that he wanted to tender a total of 419 ballot papers from a unit at DC School, Lasun Village, Ode Omu, Oyinlola’s lawyer, Pinheiro got up and said he was “interested in looking at the 419 ballot papers brought by our friends from Barawo (thieves) village.”
He later informed the tribunal that “in that 419 pack, there are 40 blank sheets which our friends want to tender as ballot papers.”
Sasegbon had earlier mis-pronounced the name of a village, Barau, in Ayedaade Local Government, calling it Barawo Village, which is Hausa word for thief.
Pinheiro then threw a broadside saying “My Lord can see the people from Barawo village again,” adding that actually, “AC is very strong in that ‘thieves village. It is their stronghold.”
There were other discrepancies in several polling units, one of which was St Lukes Primary School 1, Orile Owu, where Aregbesola’s lawyer announced that he was tendering 131 ballot papers contained in an envelope.
Pinheiro said the envelope looked too bulky to contain 131 ballot papers and called for a re-count by the court registrar, who counted 211 ballot papers.
Also at Aba Ibadan Village, Sasegbon announced 155 ballot papers, but Pinheiro said he doubted if the content could be up to that figure. When counted, 75 ballot papers were found. Another was Atoba Village, where Sasegbon announced that he was tendering 96 ballot papers, with Pinheiro suggesting that it be counted and 93 ballot papers were found there.When Sasegbon tried to rationalise it that INEC should be blamed for the irregularities, Pinheiro countered that it was Aregbesola’s lawyer who brought the materials to court and announced the figures, not INEC.Also the unit called Wakajaye 1, where Sasegbon announced that he was tendering 339 ballot papers, Pinheiro said there were blank sheets in the pack and therefore, called for a recount. The recount showed that there were 404 ballot papers instead of 339 announced by Aregbesola’s lawyer.
