The Attorney General of Lagos State, Mr. Ade Ipaye has debunked as “preposterous” claims by Mr. Ebun Olu-Adegboruwa that unknown persons likely to be agents of the State attempted to assassinate him at his Lekki phase 1 residence recently.
The Lagos Attorney General in a letter to the State Commissioner of Police, called on the Police to begin an investigation into the matter and make public their findings.
Ipaye wrote, “It is a fact that Mr. Adegboruwa is a litigant in a case involving the State Government and which I am handling personally. The case is currently pending before the Court of Appeal and the Federal High Court.
“The State Government, as a consistent champion of rule of law and good governance, considers it preposterous that a legal practitioner of Mr. Adegboruwa’s standing would level such a grievous and unsubstantiated allegation against the Lagos State Government without any factual or empirical investigation being conducted, and without providing a shred of evidence in support of his claim”, Ipaye added.
He said further, “Having regard to the seriousness of Mr. Adegboruwa’s allegation, I hereby respectfully request your offices to please investigate the allegation for the purpose of establishing veracity of same and apprehending of the alleged assailants”.
