Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, on Sunday said policemen numbering 20 were on their way to Ekiti State to arrest government officials, leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party and members of the House of Assembly to give effect to the petitions by members of the All Progressives Congress.
The alarm was contained in a press statement signed by the Special Assistant to Mr. Fayose on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka.
But the Police in Ekiti promptly denied the allegation, saying nothing of such has happened.
Mr. Fayose’s statement said the planned arrest was to give effect to the petitions by the APC members on the 2014 governorship election.
The governor alleged that the 20 policemen, riding in three white Toyota buses, were led by one ACP Olusola Oke, a native of Isan Ekiti, hometown of the Minister of Solid Minerals, Kayode Fayemi .
He also accused prominent indigenes of the state, such as Femi Falana(SAN), Babafemi Ojudu, Yinka Akerele among others of coordinating the “invasion.”
“We have been reliably informed that the latest onslaught against the PDP government of Mr Ayodele Fayose is to begin on Monday, using the police to arrest top government officials, PDP leaders across the 16 local government areas and members of the House of Assembly,” the statement said.
