AAC SEEK FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO ON SOWORE IN EKITI The African Action Congress, AAC, has called for further investigation into the reported attack on Omoyele Sowore and other party members in Ekiti State, despite the arrest of eleven suspects. In a statement by its national publicity secretary, Rex Elanu, the AAC says new video footage has emerged which it believes could help identify more persons involved in the incident. The party has expressed concern over the handling of CCTV recordings from the restaurant where the incident occurred, and alleges that some stolen phones were traced to the governor's lodge in Ekiti State. It is seeking an independent investigation into these claims, the handling of recovered items and the circumstances surrounding the incident. The AAC has also called for the arrest and prosecution of any other persons found to have been involved, and demanded an investigation into the conduct of any security officers who may have acted unprofessionally.
The operatives of Rapid Response Squad {RRS} of Lagos State Police Command,yesterday Monday,busted a 6-man syndicate which allegedly specialized in vandalising and stealing light-up Lagos cable wire,street lamps and light poles installed by the Ambode-led administration to illuminate the State.The suspects,Tunde Alaba,29, Saheed Ismail,27,Deji Afolorunso,26, Sunday Obasanmi,27,Jelili Abodunrin,32,and Taofeek Oyedele,28,were apprehended at about 2:30 am,under the bridge at CMS after destroying the streetlights powering the are and its environs.It was gathered that the RRS operatives who were patrolling the area,sighted them in the act of pulling down the street lamps,cables and poles,before mobilising more officers for their eventual arrest and mmovement to RRS Headquarters,Alausa.The suspects,who confessed to the crime during interrogation and revealed that they have been living under the bridge for about 4 years,have been transferred to the Lagos State Environmental Task Force for prosecution.Recall that Governor Ambode gave a recent directive that all patrol officers in the State must keep their eyes on all ongoing and completed State government projects because of increase in vandalisation and theft of armored cables powering the streets lights across the State.
