People at the Ekiti State Election Petitions Tribunal were yesterday treated to a huge dose of drama when a loyalist of Governor Segun Oni, Femi Olanrewaju, was confronted with the video evidence of his alleged attack on journalists at the Government House on the eve of the last governorship rerun poll.


Olanrewaju, popularly known as “Ijakoko”, denied ever entering the Ado-Ekiti Government House.

It was at the continuation of the hearing of the petition filed by the Action Congress (AC) governorship candidate, Kayode Fayemi, against Oni’s declaration as winner of the April 22 election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The rigorous drilling of the witness during his cross-examination by counsel to AC and Fayemi, Anthony Adeniyi, saw him (Olanrewaju) asking for water to drink to cool off.

The witness had severally been described as “Oni’s chief thug” by witnesses from Ifaki-Ekiti, his hometown who had earlier given evidence before the tribunal.

He was also accused of being the mastermind of the violence that rocked the community and other places where the rerun was held in Ido’Osi Local Government Area.
