YOUTH UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF COALITION FOR PROGRESSIVE YOUTH IN AKOKOLAND PREPARED FOR A SHOWDOWN IF COMRADE GANI MOHAMMED AJOWA CONTINUE TO BE INCARCERATED IN THE POLICE CUSTODY
Youth under the aegis of Coalition for Progressive Youth in Akokoland have given the Nigerian Police Force a 24-hour ultimatum to release Comrade Gani Mohammed Ajowa who was arrested in his Alagbaka Akure government residence Monday night without any prior invitation or warrant of arrest by men of the Nigeria Police Force.
Despite several efforts from well meaning Nigerians to the Nigerian Police Force seeking the release of the immediate past Special Adviser on Special Duties and Strategy to His Excellency Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa the Governor of Ondo State. The Nigeria Police Force has remained unyielding and overtly acting the script allegedly from the Interior Minister, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo (BTO).
The youth body hereby called on the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to act swiftly by releasing Comrade Gani Mohammed Ajowa who has been detained for four days in their facility.
The continuous detention and failure to grant him bail will propel youths in Akoko to protest to seek his release.
It is sad that the police that are expected to protect the people are being used to intimidate and harass innocent people.
The involvement of the minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo in this case is seriously uncalled for and an height of disregard for human rights.
The minister is power drunk and he is using power arrogantly to punish Gani Muhammed unjustly. He should know one thing that power is transient, he cannot be in power for life. What goes around will definitely come around.
The youth further called on the IGP to wade-in into the incarceration of Gani Mohammed Ajowa and to let the rule of law prevailed.
They warned those who are behind this unlawful detention and those who are aiming to reap much popularity in this uncivilised act to think twice because the arrest of comrade Gani is a slap on the people of Akoko.
It appealed to the Inspector General of Police not to be silent on this issue as Comrade Gani Muhammed dentition is unlawful
