There is palpable fear and tension in Kwara State as federal security agencies led by agents of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission ( EFCC), the police and army have invaded the state in a calculated bid to harass the opposition, allegedly based on a script written by leaders of the All Progressive Congress(APC) in the state.
According to usually reliable sources, the alleged APC plan is to harass key leaders of the PDP, especially influential government officials in each of the 16 local government councils with security agencies through intimidation to prevent their participation in the election.
The source revealed that the arrow head of the assault on PDP members is allegedly the EFCC which last Monday embarked on a spate of invitation and arrests of top government officials, in key ministries of the government based on a petition by a faceless group said to be linked to the APC.
As the EFCC onslaught was ongoing, a crack team of police detectives from Abuja led by an ACP also reportedly arrived the state a week before the postponed elections with a list of key PDP members to the arrested on spurious charges and kept out circulation until after Saturday’s elections.
Said the source: Its a gestapo-style operation that is designed by APC stalwarts and executed by police and EFCC officials from Ibadan, the police team from Abuja has begun a clamp-down on PDP stalwarts on flimsy excuses. On Wednesday, seven PDP members were arrested in a PDP stronghold in Irepodun. The same week, a top female PDP politician from Ilorin West was arrested for possession of sample ballot papers issued to polling agents of all parties by INEC. That was followed by an EFCC invitation to heads of key ministries and Governor’s Office based on a ridiculous petition by a group linked to APC. The surprising thing is that the same EFCC which has refused to act on petitions against prominent APC officials from months, acted on the petition within a week. This has raised suspicion of bias against EFCC which appears to be acting out an APC script designed to intimidate our members. Also curious is the arrest and detention of Senator Rafiu Ibrahim over the reported attack on Alhaji Lola Ashiru, his opponent, during the week. Rafiu was no where near the scene of the attack. Yet he is being held by the police after voluntarily giving a statement. Unless something is done, the Senator won’t be allowed to participate in the election.”
For now, PDP members have reportedly gone underground for fear of their lives with the intention to surface on election day.
