The deputy governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Mr Deji Ogunsakin has been nabbed in the serial murder cases that have been occurring in Ado Ekiti in the last two weeks.
The former Chairman of Ado Ekiti Local Government who had been confirmed to be the godfather of a secret cult group, was rebuffed by the Ekiti State Police Command this morning where he went to secure the bail of those arrested in connection with murder cases.
The police raided at dark spots such as Atikankan, Oja oba, Okeyinmi, old garage,ajibade, mugbagba, pavilion etc. Over 40 hoodlums including suspected cultists were arrested.
At about 10:30 am this morning, Alhaji Ogunsakin went to the State Police Command in the company of the Governor’s Chief Security Officer in order to secure the bail of those arrested in connection with the murder of Mr Williams Ayegoro who was killed at Atikankan area of Ado Ekiti penultimate Wednesday.
Ogunsakin who is a notorious drunkard and confirmed cultist was alleged to have coordinated Governor Fayose’s killer’s squad in the past. This, it was gathered was the main reason the governor decided to compensate him with the position of the deputy governor in preference to the popular demand for Mrs Tosin Aluko, a vibrant woman politician in Ado Ekiti.
Police sources said this will be a continuous exercise until the city is free from assailants.
As at the time of writing this report, Ogunsakin had reported back to Governor Fayose who put a call across to the Commissioner of police but all efforts to get the accused persons released has failed. The CP insisted that investigation was ongoing in the matter
