Gunmen attack Ekiti APC lawmaker’s house

A member of House of Representatives, Hon Ife Arowosoge
yesterday narrowly escaped being killed by a 6-man gang,
who invaded his Ado Ekiti and traumatized his wife, Dr (Mrs)
Oluwayemi Arowosoge and other occupants.
Arowosoge, took journalists round the house at Ajowa Area of
Dallimore yesterday and accused the opposition party of being
behind the alleged plot to assassinate him.
The suspected assassins broke into the house at 4.30am and
traced his wife, two kids and the househelp, who had already
cramped themselves in the pent room.
The Federal lawmaker, who is representing Ekiti South Federal
Constituency 1, alleged that members of the All Progressives
Congress in the state have been subjected to all forms of
terrorism in the last few months, asking “even if it was a case
of robbery, why is it that only members of APC were being
attacked?
Arowosoge declared that similar thing had happened to the
national chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun,
which was a pointer to the fact that there was an alleged
secret plot to decimate the opposition.
Arowosoge said he had to resort to the Director of the State
Security Service in Ekiti, Mr Samuel Tamuno, whom he said
responded on the need to take all necessary actions.
“The speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Hon
Adewale Omirin and other lawmakers had been attacked under
similar circumstances. So, it was a clear case of assas­
sination against me.
“Immediately they gained entry into my House, the first
question they asked repeatedly from my wife is: “where is
your husband” before my wife told them that if it was money
she was ready to offer before they collected money”.
The Police Public Relations Officer of the Ekiti State Police
Command, Victor Babayemi said preliminary investigation
conducted by the police indicated that it was a clear case of
robbery.
Babayemi said the suspected robbers had earlier robbed a
hotel within vicinity
