Ekiti govt's denial can't hide its complicity in brutal attack on me - Sowore

African Action Congress presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has criticized the Ekiti State government's denial of their involvement in a recent brutal attack on him and his team. In a statement on his verified X account, Sowore claimed the state government knew about the attack hours in advance and refused to acknowledge its complicity.

Sowore reported that a Chief Security Officer from the governor warned him that his safety could not be guaranteed if he continued with political activities in Ekiti State just before the attack. The warning preceded the violent assault, during which armed thugs attacked and robbed Sowore and his team in broad daylight. The government's denial cannot escape the truth that they were aware of the attack and protected those responsible.

Sowore urged the Ekiti State Government to begin explaining their involvement instead of denying it. The incident adds to the political tension leading up to the 2027 elections.
