Outright waste of Police time. What type of stupid allegation is this! At best, if Ojedayo felt slighted by Facebook post, should that not be a civil matter? Instead of our police to face actual crimes in the land, they go about doing the bidding of the rich. BTW, this OP only registered on Nairaland today to post this abuse of power and bullying. Let me ask you Mr OP, how peaceful and prosperous is your village today despite all the harassment going on? If lie runs for twenty years, truth will catch up in a twinkle of an eye according to a yoruba adage. I am from Ogbomoso and I am aware of happenings in that village very well.
