Gunmen Abduct 4 APC Members In Ekiti by gratiaeo(op): 5:22am On Feb 14, 2015
■ Unleash mayhem in communities
■ Hold Fayose responsible- Party


BY WOLE BALOGUN, ADO EKITI

Thugs suspected to be members of both the Peoples’ Demo­cratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) clashed yesterday in Gbonyin and Irepodun/Ifelodun local government areas of Ekiti state leaving blood and de struction on their trail.

APC spokesman in the state, Mr. Taiwo Olatubosun alleged it was the support ers of Governor Ayo Fayose who attacked vehicles of his party’s members, destroying the billboards and posters of its candidates for the March 28 and April 11 general elec tions.

But the state’s commis sioner of police, Mr. Taiwo Lakanu said that what was reported to his office was a case of attack by some yet-to-be identified thugs on the vehicles of some government officials, adding that the po lice have begun investiga tions on the development.

According to a statement by the APC, the thugs armed with guns and machetes stormed Igbemo-Ekiti where they disrupted APC ward meeting. A car belonging to the party’s ward chairman was damaged while several members were attacked in an orgy of violence that lasted several minutes Thursday night.

According to Olatubosun, they came back in the night unleashing worse violence, abducting four members in the process.

“They started their raids from Ijan-Ekiti where they shot sporadically in the air. Residents scampered to safety as thugs went about destroying APC candidates’ billboards and posters.

“After Ijan-Ekiti op eration, they headed for Iluomoba-Ekiti where APC ward meeting was disrupted. Billboards and posters of APC candidates, including the chairs and tables were destroyed before moving to other communities in Gbon yin to unleash violence,” Olatubosun explained.

He added that the thugs returned to Igbemo-Ekiti at night in three Hilux vans backed by policemen shoot ing and destroying the bill boards and posters of APC candidates, including those of Barrister Rotimi Odu, a member of the House of As sembly seeking re-election. They also visited Olatubosun and Odu’s homes.

“It was during their night visit that these men in mili tary uniform abducted Chief Peter Akinsola a.k.a Pitoro, the senior brother of the Ward Chairman, Mr. Olusola Bello, Mr. Olujimi Ogunade, and 22-year-old Adefemi Ojo. Investigation has re­vealed that the abducted men are illegally detained at Fay ose’s task force office along Iyin road Ado Ekiti,” Olatu bosun explained.

He listed PDP members seen working with the thugs as Folorunso, Niran, Ba siru Ajagbemokeferi, Ropo Akosile, Tosin, alias Tosco (a notorious criminal), Dada Fagbolagun and Michael Daramola, who was the Gov ernment House driver who drove the thugs to the town.

Olatubosun added that Ajayi Temisoro was match eted while a pharmaceutical shop belonging to an APC member, Olujimi Ogunade, was destroyed. A high Chief in the town, Chief Tunji Agamogo, the Onisara of Igbemo as well as one Ariyo Afao a brother to Governor Fayose were seen with the thugs encouraging them and pointing to APC members houses.

The APC spokesman called on the security agen cies to intervene to save the lives of abducted members while also urging the police to be even-handed in the current violence being un leashed on APC members by the governor’s thugs.

Hmmmmm...




I pray for safety and peace. I get scared whenever I hear all this news about Ekiti state. Sometimes I wish I can withdraw from the Adhoc staff thingy. Although Ekiti is a PDP state, it has numerous underground APC too.

Who says soldiers should not be deployed that day for security? Thunder go fire the person.... I can't risk my precious life

Ekiti may never know peace as long as a thug remains the governor. This is reminiscent of what was obtainable in Oyo during Akala and Adedibu's time.

PDP is a party of thugs and killers. QED.

Nigerians should and must know that election will come and go oh. We are first human beings before choosing our political parties of choice... Before these parties, we are living oh. They shouldn't breath hatred into us.
It all lies in our hands...
