The State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State, Hon. Olasoji Adagunodo has alerted the party members in the State to be vigilant, careful and watchful for fake APC members in police uniforms who are arresting PDP members on frivolous charges which the state police command has no knowledge of.
A particular case in question is the case of Alhaja Mulikat Yusuff who was kidnapped at Oke-Ola area of Ilesa in Ilesa West yesterday by uniformed policemen but who were later discovered to be members of the All Progressives Congress wearing fake police uniforms and also driving about in Hilux Pickup Vans and Toyota buses of various brands.
The Nigerian Police has denied sending any of its men to go on mass arrest of any politician in Osun State in recent times, specifically mentioning the case of Alhaja Mulikat Yusuff as a very strange one.
Also, one Prince Shola Adewumi, the council chairman and one Obeesun were the ones who led thugs in Police uniforms to the house of a PDP chieftain in Ijebu-Jesa, Alhaji Tijani Aburumaku but met his absence, his son, a serving member of the National Youth Service Corps who was met in the house was manhandled and beaten to a pulp.
Interestingly, when contacted, the Area Commander of the Nigerian Police in Ijebu-Jesa also denied ever issuing any order or instruction to that effect.
This is another clear case of fake policemen in uniform terrorising innocent citizens with sole aim of scaring them away from participating in the forthcoming general elections which will not augur well for our nascent democracy.
In the light of the above and based on the denial by the Osun State command of the Nigerian Police of such unauthorized actions, the Osun State chairman of PDP, Hon Soji Adagunodo has issued a directive to all PDP members in Osun State to mobilize the public and party members and make sure that such policemen who may come for arrest of our members are dragged to the nearest police station/command or delayed till policemen of any nearest police station are called in to ascertain their identities and to avoid being kidnapped by the APC members in fake policemen uniform.
Hon. Olasoji Adagunodo,
Chairman,
Peoples Democratic Party,
Osun State Chapter.
