Police raid on Auxiliary’s residence political motivated – Olajengbesi
In a statement on Thursday, Olajengbesi, who is the Senior Partner at Abuja-based law firm, Law Corridor, said the events leading to the whole situation, especially happening hours after Governor Seyi Makinde sacked Auxiliary as PMS chairman raise suspicion.
The lawyer said, “While it is commendable that the Nigeria Police Force may have taken the initiative to be on top of a security concern to purge our communities of thuggery, criminality and unlawful possession of firearms, we must all equally acknowledge that the events leading to this drama and the situation with Auxiliary is pure political vendetta at play and not so much a fight against criminality.
“Auxiliary’s ordeal, especially being not so long ago a notable chieftain empowered and suitably positioned by the government now hounding him, is a cautionary tale in the ephemerality of power and mischief of political power holders.
