Ogun LP Chairman alleges threat to his Life by Amosun boys, petitions IGP

Ogun LP Chairman alleges threat to his Life by Amosun boys, petitions IGP

The Chairman of the Ogun State Labour Party, Mr. Abayomi Arabambi has alleged and petitioned the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris over
threat to his life and that of his family members by Governor Ibikunle Amosun's boys.

Arabambi submitted the petitions to the Force headquarters, Abuja over the weekend, and also copied to the Director-General, Department of State Services (DSS), the Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 2, Lagos and the Ogun State Commissioner of Police.

He wrote in his petition that “an unmarked Ford car with some unknown persons had been trailing his vehicle for sometime now, adding that he also received a death threat from an unknown man on a motorcycle who threatened to drop me if I don’t stop my party’s opposition to the governor.”

“I have lately been observing that my car was being trailed by some unknown persons in an unmarked Ford salon car and in fact two days ago, I received a death threat from an unknown man on a motorcycle with full helmet at Panseke around 10 pm who threatened to ‘drop me’ if I don’t stop my party’s opposition to the governor and thereafter zoomed off.

“These recent happenings give credence to the fact that my life and that of my household, including party officials and members are in danger and coupled with the opposition role of my party, particularly the role our party played in the recent rejection of the request of the National Assembly of the $350 million loan request by Ogun State government.”

Arabambi alleged in the petitions that the Ogun state government’s reaction to an interview he granted a national newspaper in which he criticised the model schools built by the government convinced him that the Governor Amosun's administration may be after him.

He said the state government in a rejoinder release by the media aide to the governor, Opeyemi Soyombo made a veiled threat in which he said, “Arabambi and his sponsors have hit below the belt, which will rebound upon them.”

Arabambi therefore called on the security agencies to investigate the subtle threats made by the governor’s media aide.
