Save Ekiti From the Reign of Terror

The recent kidnapping incidents at Ilawe-Ekiti leading to the death of a 1st class Monarch, the Attah of Ayede Ekiti and a related one in Ilasa- Ekiti leading to the death of the Acting Provost of the College of Education, Ikere Ekiti calls for concern of all Ekiti sons and daughters.

Since 2003 when the PDP chased away political integrity to mount an illegal throne in Ekiti, the State had become a den of robbers, assassins and kidnappers. It has been one week one trouble under the interlopers who introduced the culture of violence to Ekiti political lexicon.

It is so unfortunate for Ekiti to lose two of its prominent citizens in a single day in the hands of hoodlums who are bent on creating a State of anarchy in Ekiti State. It is apposite that the preys of these satanic predators ranged from hapless masses, bank managers to police officers.

We had been treated, during the reign of the PDP interlopers to the killing of Special anti-robbery squad officers, carting away of bank managers, bestial rape, violent robberies and dastardly cult activities.

All these, we believe are evil designs to make Ekiti a no go area for her sons and daughters who are beacons of hope for the traumatised state. These strings of attacks kidnappings and robberies are keep signs to men and women of goodwill so as to give enough space for the PDP goons who are currently unleashing an unprecedented economic and socio political desolation on the poor state.

They thought by unleashing a reign of terror thereby creating an artificial state of anarchy, they would make Ekiti State a no-go- area for good and responsible people. This has put a lie to their claim of planning to develop the State by making the capital a mega-city.

It is now clear that the present impostors having not been chosen by the people cannot be bothered about the security of lives and property of the same people they claim to govern, as it is bewildering that such gang of hoodlums could traverse almost the length and breadth of Ekiti, hawking violence without apprehension.

In the recent past, citizens and political leaders who don’t share the come and eat philosophy of the State PDP had been visited assassination bids and threats.

Action Congress lawyer at the Ekiti Elections Petitions Tribunal had luckily escaped acid attack, while journalists and aides of Dr. Kayode Fayemi are still seeking Divine routes to escape the mortal threats of Sola Ojo, Agboola Oni and one notorious cultist a.k.a. Marshal.

We once again appeal to the security agents to prevent a breakdown of law and order in Ekiti State by swinging into action to unravel those behind the recent kidnap in Ilawe and Ilasa Ekiti.

We urge the security agents to follow a lead of information provided on those who recently threatened the lives of members of the opposition and journalists.

We commiserate with the Ayede-Ekiti Royal family, the entire people of Ayede and the State Council of Traditional Rulers over the untimely death of the monarch. We equally commiserate with the family of the late Acting Provost, Dr. Gabriel Olowoyo.

We pray God to grant the families the fortitude to bear the loss and repose of their souls as we pray for divine intervention in Ekiti to put a stop to man-made calamities.
