The government of Ekiti state have raise the alarm that police from Abuja arrived the state last night to commence the arrest of 11 members of the state house of Assembly and other government official of the PDP.
Special Assistant to the Governor on Public Communications and New Media, Mr. Lere Olayinka said the police came to arrest those being sought after under funny allegation of stockpiling arms during the June 21, 2014 governorship election. He alleged that the police team was led by one CSP Mohammed Abubakar of the Force Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Abuja.
He added that the new plot was an aftermath of the failure of the Department of State Services (DSS) to achieve the plan of coercing the state House of Assembly members to impeach the Governor Ayodele Fayose.
“We are aware of the arrival of policemen from Abuja to Ekiti State with the intention of arresting 11 members of the House of Assembly, two PDP leaders per local government and some other top officials of the government.
“Ridiculously, the offense for which the policemen are to embark on this indiscriminate arrest is owing to malicious outburst that those listed for arrest stockpiled arms during the governorship election conducted in Ekiti close to two years ago.
“This plot is in furtherance of the APC plot to destabilize the government of Ekiti State just because of Governor Fayose’s hard stance on President Muhammadu Buhari’s APC government policies.
“The question is, what was the arms they claimed were stockpiled used for? Was anyone killed or attacked during the election?
“We therefore wish to alert Nigerians on this new plot and state that Ekiti people will resist any attempt to use the Police to harass innocent citizens of the State.”
