‘Gov Oyebanji seized our phones after Ekiti attack’ – Sowore cries out
The African Action Congress, AAC, presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore has accused Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, of seizing his stolen mobile phones and other devices that were traced to the Government House in Ado-Ekiti.
Sowore made this allegation in a statement posted on his verified X handle on Tuesday, a few days after he was attacked alongside his team in Ado-Ekiti.
According to him, the Ekiti State Police Command and Governor Oyebanji have refused to return the devices which were stolen during the attack, even after they were traced to the Government House.
“We have been informed that Governor Biodun Oyebanji personally instructed the Rapid Response Squad, RRS, Commander, Ogidan, to hand over our recovered devices to him yesterday. Why would the governor take possession of evidence connected to the brutal attack on us?” Sowore queried.
He also slammed the police and the Department of State Services, DSS, for going silent after he released videos exposing the faces of the persons that attacked him on October 30.
“Since we released the chilling videos exposing the faces of members of the armed gang that tried to kill us on October 30, the Ekiti State Governor, Commissioner of Police, and DSS have all suddenly gone silent! No arrests of the key culprit who has been seen in meetings planning for Tinubu’s campaign coming up in Ekiti soon. Not a word from the Governor. Not a word from the Commissioner of Police. Not a word from the DSS,” he wrote.
