EDE SHOOTINGS: PRO-APC TERROR KINGPIN, OKO ILU ARRESTED, GANG MEMBERS GUNNED DOWN

07 August, 2022

• Ede Monarch Escapes Assassination Attempt

• Kingpin Threatens to Kill Timi of Ede

• Oko Ilu Viral Video Indict Oyetola, Asiri Eniba

• Police Dislogded Terror Siege on Ede by Oko Ilu Gang

• Jubilation in Ede over Arrest .

A terror kingpin, Rashid Oko Ilu who bragged on viral video to sustain Governor Gboyega Oyetola through violence and who for years have been harassing Ede town, has been arrested after fatal gun duel with the police.

The Timi of Ede had escaped assassination by hoodlums after timely police intervention while terror kingpin had implicated the state governor and Asiri Eniba, the NURTW terror chief.

Oko ilu who was declared wanted by the police three months ago only to resurface before the election as an ally of Asiri Eniba vowed in the video to attack the Ede monarch and make town ungovernable.

The notorious thug who in the video charged both Oyetola and Asiri Eniba not to leave government after defeat had made true his vow by launching sporadic gun attacks across Ede in the last few days, maiming the innocents and creating pandemonium in various parts of the town.

The heart of the town where the Monarch palace was located was the focus of the attacks, raising tension and apprehension of possible attempt to kill or kidnap the traditional ruler.

Top leaders of the People's Democratic Party in the town were also targeted with some APC Members actively leading the hoodlums to identify the residence and homes of PDP leaders.

Oko Ilu who gleefully described himself as a killer in the video were on their nefarious gun and matchet attacks on those who voted against Oyetola when police anti-terror squad were mobilised in response to distress calls from the palace and victims.

The immediate mobilisation of police anti- terror squad in response to SOS from the town was again confronted by the band members of Oko Ilu who had laid siege on the central part of the town.

According to eye witnesses, police superior firepower however subdued the hoodlums with some of them gunned down while others were allegedly shielded by some APC leaders in the town.

Rather than surrendering to the police , Oko Ilu was reported to have sustained gun attacks on the police team from his hideout in the house of an APC chieftain.

An eye witness noted that the terror leader eventually ran out of bullet and was arrested and whisked to the police headquarters at Osogbo.

Jubilation erupted in the town as residents heaved sigh of relief over the eventual arrest and dismantling of Oko Ilu gang.

A community leader who witnessed it all narrated as follows: " I want to thank the police authorities and their gallant men and women for a great job. Ede was locked down by Rashidi. Before election, he listed wards where we should not vote except we are ready to vote for Oyetola. Police protected us then.

" After election, he did that video. We were all afraid for our lives. His boys were going round the town with AK47. They actually wanted to kill our King. The police came on time to rescue us.

" We however want to warn that Oko ilu should not be released. Ede town will not accept such. He should answer for his many crimes of the last few years. Police authorities should also investigate and arrest his collaborators especially those APC leaders who aided their terror operations", the community leader stated.

I don't know why this criminals dey do face like they are in pain when caught, the way they inflict pains on their victims, one will think they don't know that their actions hurt or they themselves had taken something that makes them absorb pain under the same situation they put their victims.

Prison for what?
They should send him to meet his Maker instantly. He should die the most painful death for all the atrocities he has committed.

MODIFIED:
The king should also be questioned. There is something between them that they are hiding from the public.

Oko Ilu: Ede Group Raises Alarm over Plans to Release Terror Suspect

An Ede pressure, Makuarogun Alliance has warned against alleged plans to release terror kingpin, Rashid Bale Oko Ilu, hours after he was arrested during a gun duel with the police.

The group also expressed shock at the silence of the police and the state government after the arson attack on the family of the House Minority Leader, Hon Babajide Kofoworola, accusing the state governor, Gboyega Oyetola of harbouring Tunde Elemo who led the arson attack within the Government House.

In a statement issued this morning at Ede and signed by its Coordinator, Ayinla Ajala, the group frowns at the reported plans to release Oko Ilu, alleging that the Governor has been mounting pressure on police authorities on the matter.

“Why our Governor is protecting murderers and hoodlums is still a puzzle to we the citizens. From Asiri Eniba to Oko Ilu to Elemo, our Governor is nurturing law breakers responsible for insecurity across the state.

” Any attempt to release a murder suspect who also openly attempted to assassinate our King will be resisted by people of Ede. This is not about politics. It is about our town and security of lives and properties.

” We are aware Oko ilu was always in the Governor’s convoy even after he was declared wanted. We know he followed the Governor to the BBC debate. We know APC leaders harbour and use him. We are shocked that the Governor is also harbouring Tunde Elemo who attacked House Minority leader’s father whose where about is still unknown.

” it is surprising that up till now, the police has not issued any statement on the incident. The Governor has not deemed it fit to intervene so that the legislator’s father can be rescued. Worst still Elemo, the main suspect is allegedly relaxing under the Governor’s care.

” We want to appeal to the police authorities locally and nationally as well as all men and women of goodwill to be aware of the unfolding event. A suspect declared wanted by the police and arrested after a gun duel is allegedly about to be released.

“This must not happened as It will not only compromise the integrity of law enforcement but will also make the Governor and the police accomplices in the documented crimes committed by the suspects” , the statement alerted.

I understand that, I was voting PDP for over 4 election cycles myself. But a time comes when I must select the best from the good, a time foe me to vote for the better candidate even if he's coming from an unknown party, even if he's not going to pay me for supporting him. Think of the future of this country and who can make things better for all of us. Choose well bro.

A big shame on Governor Oyetola. A state governor sponsoring terrorists against his state. No wonder Portable is his role model.

Ok Ilu was declared wanted by the police but unknown to the masses, the terrorists had always be in the convoy of Mr governor for protection.

I am ashamed of senseless Oyetola.
