Pandemonium broke out in Abeokuta when a chieftain of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, in Ogun State, Mr Emmanuel Ajala, was
beaten blue black by suspected political thugs,who also stripped him
naked.
Ajala was attacked at about 6:30pm, on Saturday, while going
to his Gbonagun home in Abeokuta. His attackers were apparently on his
trail.
It was gathered that three men operating on a motorcycle were
alleged to have overtaken the politician’s car and flagged him down
then pounced on him.
Ajala, a former legislator in Abeokuta South Local Government
of the state, was also reported to have been dragged down from the car,
while his cloth was torn.
It was, however, gathered that he was saved from the attackers when they sighted an oncoming vehicle and took to their heels.
Narrating his ordeal, the politician said: “They accused me
of being too bold to comment on political issues, which they considered
uncomplimentary and warned me to desist.
“It was an oncoming car they saw that made them to bolt away. I have equally reported the case to Obantoko police station.”
Contacted, the Ogun State Police Command Public Relations
Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, said the victim reported at the police station,
but had failed to report back as scheduled for further investigation of
the case, explaining that his failure to report back will affect
investigation.
“The man reported the case, and he was asked to be followed
to the scene, but said he was scared and when asked to also come back
the following day for further investigations, he failed to report.
“There is no way the police could investigate without him. He
has killed investigation, so whether his claim is true or not, nobody
can tell.”
