The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the March 18 gubernatorial poll in Ogun State, Ladi Adebutu, has accused the police of covering up investigation into allegations of vote buying and electoral violence against Governor Dapo Abiodun and the All Progressives Congress during the election.
Adebutu said: “We have petitioned the Nigerian Police for the past six weeks, but we are surprised why the police has not opened up an investigation into our petition against Abiodun and the APC on the votes bought by them. “This is why they are covering up all the shenanigans and they have not allowed the police to do their job.
Reacting to the suit against him at the High Court over alleged voting buying, Adebutu insisted that he was neither invited by the police nor served any court document regarding the suit. “They are only trying to distract people and distract the judiciary from giving proper attention to the merit of the petition before them. They should allow the tribunal to do their job, this is an abuse of court process. They should allow the tribunal do their job and at the end of the day we will know who actually perpetrated vote buying or not,” he said.
Adebutu said: “We have petitioned the Nigerian Police for the past six weeks, but we are surprised why the police has not opened up an investigation into our petition against Abiodun and the APC on the votes bought by them. “This is why they are covering up all the shenanigans and they have not allowed the police to do their job.
