The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State has accused
Governor Ayodele Fayose of complicity in the Monday jail break in
Ado-Ekiti following conflicting reports by the governor and his media
aide, Lere Olayinka.
The party said while the governor blamed the prison officials for complicity, Olayinka accused APC of masterminding the crime to free Niyi Adedipe, who was in prison custody over alleged complicity in the murder of drivers’ union boss, Omolafe Aderiye.
The party explained that the latest report of the sighting of four of the escaped prisoners in the Government House confirmed the earlier suspicion that the Monday incident was an orchestrated plan to free criminals friendly with the government to unleash them on the opponents as suspicion of alleged killer squad in Ekiti State grew.
“If the jail break was an attempt by APC to free Adedipe, why did Adedipe report himself to the police and subsequently surrendered himself to the prisons authorities without being declared wanted? If the jail break is to kill Niyi Adedipe as alleged by Lere Olayinka, Why was he not killed?
“Today, Ekiti people have information that four of the escapees, including a notorious criminal and serial rapist that participated in attacking Fayose’s opponents during his first stint, are being lodged in the chalets behind the Presidential Lodge in the Government House”, Olatubosun said. He added that the unfolding drama confirmed APC’s outcry that a killer squad is being raised for attacks on opponents.
