GROUP ASKS POLICE,SSS, TO WARN OPEYEMI BAMIDELE The Inspector-General of Police and the Director of SSS have been told to ask Opeyemi Bamidele to halt his violent acts before he is visited with the wrath of Ekiti people. In a statement, The Sixth Pillar, a socio-cultural group of Itaji and Oloje sons and daughters, said irrespective of political standing, status or indigeneship, the people of Itaji would not stand criminals who pose as politicians. The group, which said one of its members was in Itaji to see a relation on Friday and witnessed the war declared on Itaji by Opeyemi Bamidele on Friday, wondered why their people should be subjected to such a display of terror because of someones governorship ambition. The statement reads: One of our members was conversing with some other people outside the house of one late Mrs. Adeyeye, popularly known in her lifetime as Ajepe, when the Labour Party gang of criminals drove by. The LP thugs looked in their direction and shouted Labour Party!. Their refusal to respond drew gunshots from the Labour Party thugs. They operated unabated for three hours like an armed robbery gang in the presence of Opeyemi Bamidele and the policemen attached to him. According to those who were peeping from where they were hiding from the bullets from Bamideles guns, the criminals had a bus-load of ammunitions to draw from. While some were firing shots into houses, others with cutlasses were smashing and hacking down anything within reach. Two natives of Itaji, Kupolusi Sunday and Dele Ishola, were seriously hacked by the LP thugs. While Kupolusi was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre, Ido, Dele Ishola, was admitted at the Ayede General Hospital. As at yesterday night, Kupolusi Sunday was breathing with the aid of an oxygen tube. These are the imprints of Bamideles violence. For close to three hours, he laid siege to our town. The Sixth Pillar said cars were also vandalized. The group said it had good evidence to sue the Labour Party and Opeyemi Bamidele to court as it identified those who were pointing out APC members in the community to the LP criminals. One Sola Adebayo who works at the Federal Government College, Usi-Ekiti, Ajayi Abiola and Ebenezer Bamigboye, also known as Odofintegun, are those named as those identifying APC members in Itaji for the Labour Party criminals. We are putting the Inspector-General of Police and the Director of SSS on notice that we would in like manner unleash terror on any group, person or political party which terrorizes our people. We are not weaklings, we are only believers in peace, but if the Police will only stand by and watch while people are maimed and killed, we are afraid we would have to defend ourselves. We have heard that the Police is on the side of Labour Party and PDP and that the OC Mopol in Ekiti is President Jonathans fellow Ijaw brother who according to sources has been boasting that he is out to deal with APC members in Ekiti. If the Police and the SSS cannot do their job for which they swore to an oath and are now partisan, then the people will be forced to defend themselves. This, we think, will not be palatable for anyone. Signed: Odunayo Ogunsina Coordinator, The 6th Pillar
