ADO-EKITI—The crisis in Ekiti State has taken another dimension, as police authorities are said to be searching for the 19 members of the All Progressives’ Congress for “interaction” according to Mr Wole Olujobi, the Special Adviser to the Speaker, Dr Adewale Omirin.

According to him; ‘’Before the current move, the members were in possession of intelligence that Governor Ayodele Fayose had enlisted the support of the police in the crackdown on the opposition politicians, including the lawmakers, in a swoop on the opposition politicians for total control of the state.

‘’So far, the police had dropped “invitation letters” in the homes of  Honourable Folorunso Ogundele from Efon-Alaye and Honourable Tope Peter Agidi from Ilawe-Ekiti.’’

But the Commissioner of Police in Ekiti State, Taiwo Lakanu, denied knowledge of the invitation, saying there was no basis for such invitation, as there was no complaints against the lawmakers from any quarters. He advised the Speaker, Dr. Adewale Omirin, to ignore such invitation.

With the denial by Lakanu, Omirin said the coast seemed set for the next phase of crackdown on the opponents by special police force in Governor Fayose’s administration.
