Presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore of the African Action Congress, AAC, has accused the Ekiti State Police Command of failing to investigate the masterminds behind an attack on him and his team in Ado-Ekiti. Despite announcing the arrest of 11 suspects, Sowore insists the police must identify and arrest those who planned, financed and coordinated the alleged assassination attempt.
He described the 11 arrests as an admission that the incident was not merely an altercation as initially claimed by the police. Sowore maintains the attack was carried out by government-sponsored thugs and demands an investigation into the suspects, some of whom he claims are linked to the City Boys group. He urges the Ekiti Commissioner of Police and the Department of State Services to release CCTV footage from the incident to aid identification.
Sowore questioned why the police initially described the incident as an altercation, before announcing the arrests, and called for an independent investigation to prosecute everyone implicated by the evidence.
