The Director-General (DG) of the Imole Campaign Council, Lere Oyewumi, has alleged that 52 people were arrested at the residence of the lawmaker representing Irewole/Isokan State Constituency in the Osun State House of Assembly, Ibrahim Inaolaji.
Mr Oyewumi made the allegation on Saturday while speaking with journalists at his polling unit, Unit 9, St Peter and Paul/Sumoye Primary School, Ikire, during Saturday’s Osun State governorship election.
He alleged that about 24 police officers stormed Inaolaji’s residence in the early hours of Saturday, damaged the gate and arrested those inside, including the Accord Party chairman in Irewole Local Government Area.
According to him, the arrests were part of what he described as a pattern of intimidation targeting members and supporters of the Accord Party ahead of the election.
“It is very unfortunate what we witnessed here. The whole drama started at midnight when about 24 policemen stormed the house of our House of Assembly member, Ibrahim Inaolaji,” Mr Oyewumi said.
