The Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, has been asked to arrest an aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State, Jimi Lawal,
Four other suspended members of the party, Bola Odumosu, Ajadi Fasiu, Kola Akinyemi, and Tope Ashiru, were also asked to be arrested over the same allegation.
In the petition, Ogunyemi said his signature was sighted in a letter purportedly written to the Independent National Electoral Commission , asking the commission to attend and monitor a fresh primary election held on Monday by the Jimi Lawal camp.
The petition read partly: “Our client has been subjected to physical attacks with a plethora of threats, blaming our client for issuing the said insensitive, inappropriate, and irresponsible correspondence with sheer disregard to the party’s resolve to challenge the judgement delivered by the Federal High Court at the court of Appeal.
“We know as a fact that unless your office intervenes and investigates our client’s petition, the respondents will continue to defame our client and all that he stands for.
