The media of office of the lawmaker representing Osun East at the Senate, Senator Francis Fadahunsi, on Sunday, called for the arrest of those defacing the lawmaker's campaign posters.
“But we want to urge Mr Famurewa to play the game according to the rules and not look for every available straw to hold on to. We will not tolerate him sponsoring violence against the good people of Osun East because of his ordained doom at the polls. We therefore call on security agents to call him to order so that the people won’t be forced to defend themselves.”
But when contacted for a reaction, a member of Famurewa Campaign Organisation Media team, Mr. Isaac Olufemi, dismissed the allegation, saying those pasting posters of APC candidates were attacked by some security men attached to Fadahunsi. According to him, Famurewa had already petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, asking him to investigate some of his officers for the role played in the attack.
He said it was stated in the petition details of the three security men working for Fadahunsi that carried out the attack at Imo Area of Ilesa on January 10, urging the IGP to conduct thorough investigation into the matter and punish the perpetrators.All rights reserved.
