The Director-General of the Imole Campaign Council, Senator Lere Oyewumi, has alleged that 52 persons were arrested at the residence of the lawmaker representing Irewole/Isokan State Constituency, Ibrahim Inaolaji, describing the incident as an act of intimidation ahead of the Osun governorship election.
Oyewumi made the allegation while addressing journalists at his polling unit, Unit 9, St Peter and Paul/Sumoye Primary School, Ikire, on Saturday.
He said about 24 police officers allegedly stormed the lawmaker’s residence in the early hours of Saturday, damaged the gate and arrested the occupants, including the Accord Party chairman in the local government.
According to him, the incident was part of what he described as a series of arrests allegedly targeting members and supporters of the Accord Party.
