Political violence: APC chieftain beaten and stripped off his clothes by thugs in Ogun

by ‘Jola Sotubo

Saturday was a dark day for Emmanuel Ajala, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Ogun State, as he was severely beaten and subsequently stripped naked by suspected political thugs.

Mr. Ajala was on the way home to his Gbonagun residence at about 6:30pm on Saturday when he was waylaid by the hoodlums who had apparently been trailing him.

According to reports, three men operating on a motorcycle were alleged to have overtaken the politician’s car and flagged him down then pounced on him.

Ajala, a former legislator in Abeokuta South Local Government of the state, was also reported to have been dragged down from the car, while his clothes were torn.

It was, however, gathered that he was saved from the attackers when they sighted an oncoming vehicle and took to their heels.

Narrating his ordeal, the politician said: “They accused me of being too bold to comment on political issues, which they considered uncomplimentary and warned me to desist.

“It was an oncoming car they saw that made them to bolt away. I have equally reported the case to Obantoko police station.”

Contacted, the Ogun State Police Command Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, said the victim reported at the police station, but had failed to report back as scheduled for further investigation of the case, explaining that his failure to report back will affect investigation.

“The man reported the case, and he was asked to be followed to the scene, but said he was scared and when asked to also come back the following day for further investigations, he failed to report.

“There is no way the police could investigate without him. He has killed investigation, so whether his claim is true or not, nobody can tell.”

  1. that is the begining of the pang for wicked politician?

  2. The PDP controlled Police are obviously very much part of this attack. How do you explain that the State Command PRO, Muyiwa Adejobi, already knew so much about this little mugging reported at one of the small stations just the night before? Abi, is he the IPO?
