Ekiti Killing: PDP Accused Fayemi Of Hiding Killer Thugs
The PDP disclosed that just like the governor harboured those who invaded GNN Hotel in Ado Ekiti on October 24, 2020, to assassinate Lere Olayinka, Hon Dayo Akinleye and others, those who perpetrated the dastardly act in Omuo Ekiti yesterday, are now hiding in the Government house.
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Ekiti State has accused the State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, of harbouring in the Government house, killer thugs who perpetrated the killing of three people during a House of Assembly bye-election in Ekiti East Local Government on Saturday.
In a statement on Sunday by its State Publicity Secretary, Raphael Adeyanju, the party insisted that Governor Fayemi cannot claim that the killer thugs who went to Omuo Ekiti on Saturday are not known to him.

The party said that rather than going to Omuo Ekiti to shed crocodile tears as usual, Governor Fayemi should repent and stop acting like a “blood-sucking-demon” who takes delight in shedding the blood of his own people.
The party said; “The people of Omuo Ekiti know those who came to the town to shoot at innocent people yesterday, Governor Fayemi also knows them.
“The same killer thugs invaded GNN Hotel in Ado Ekiti on October 24, 2020 and CCTV footages, showing their faces were provided to the police, but they did nothing. Fayemi also saw the footages, but he gave the thugs protection.
“Therefore, there is nothing for the police to investigate. Rather, Governor Fayemi should just be humane for once and release those his killer thugs to the police for prosecution.”
However, the state government has refuted the allegations with a position that those arrested by the state commissioner of police will be charged to court on Monday.
Chief Press Secretary to governor Kayode Fayemi, Yinka Oyebode insisted that allegations by the PDP is nothing but self serving, failed move and an attempt to politicize the needless killings in Omuo.
According to Oyebode, Governor Kayode Fayemi also wishes to reiterate the commitment of his administration to upholding the sacredness of life and sanctity of the electoral process.
