They want to assassinate me — Oyo PDP Chieftain, Olopoenia Cries Out

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, In Oyo State, Alhaji Adebisi Olopoenia, has cried out over an alleged plan to kill him by former NURTW Boss…

Olopoenia, who spoke on the heels of last night’s kidnap of one of his political aides, Musiliu Muili at his Egbeda residence, fingered a former state chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, has been behind the incident.

According to him, “I was about going to bed last night when I got information that Musiliu Muili, popularly known as Ajanaku had been kidnapped in his Egbeda home. He was said to have been taken to an unknown destination around 11 p.m. I remember I got a call from his family around 11:41 pm. He was said to have opened the door for them when they attempted to remove the burglary frame. They had told him they were policemen. They parked their Hilux Jeep far away from his house. They later came back to collect the wife and children’s phone.”

Olopoenia disclosed that this was not the first time attempt would be made on his life.

“I am not a member of NURTW. I don’t even have anything to do with it. How I became a target is what I don’t know. This same Ajanaku was once kidnapped. Only this morning, my people arrested a boy, Odunayo, who had come as a spy to my house. He later confessed who sent him and we have handed him over to the police. I know those who are behind this. They are close to the government. In due course, we will expose them. I am about submitting my petition to relevant agencies.”

He later alleged that they came with hilux Jeep belonging to the Intelligence Response Team, IRT, adding that the leader of the team, Mr. Abba Kyari is not known for such unprofessionalism. Kyari is a good man and I know he would not tolerate that unprofessionalism.”

“As I talk to you, the whereabouts of Ajanaku is unknown. I am being trailed, for no just cause. The security agencies need to act fast because my life is in danger,” he added.
