Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state has alleged that policemen have invaded the state in a bid to begin arrest of PDP lawmakers.
In a statement issued by Lere Olayinka who is the special assistant to Governor Ayo Fayose on media, he claimed that security operatives were already in the state today, Sunday, July 10.
He said the invasion was based on “frivolous petitions orchestrated by the All Progressives Congress (APC) over governorship election that the party lost two years ago.”
He said the policemen would be “led by Olusola Oke in three white coloured Toyota Hummer buses”.
The spokesperson further claimed that Femi Falana (SAN), Senator Babafemi Ojudu and Yinka Akerele were coordinating the suspected attack on the state.
“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.
“ACP Olusola Oke, who is to lead the over 20 policemen to carry out the operation is said to be a native of Isan Ekiti, hometown of the Minister of Solid Minerals, Dr Kayode Fayemi. ACP Olusola Oke is equally the immediate past Assistant Commissioner in charge of Operations and now the AC X-Squad, FCID, Abuja.
“The operation is allegedly being funded by a former governor from the South South while a prominent aide of President Mohammadu Buhari is said to be directly coordinating.
“ACP Olusola Oke will be accompanied by CSP Ayodele, CSP Enang, four Inspectors and others,” he said.
