Fayemi’s Aide Petitions SSS Over Alleged Frame-Up
Chief of Staff to Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State, Mr. Yemi Adaramodu, has raised the alarm over plots to implicate him and other leaders of the All Progressives Congress in the state over the alleged killing of a member of the party.
Adaramodu, in a petition to the State Security Service, said his detractors were plotting against him and other leaders of the party.
In the petition entitled, “Attempt to Implicate Me and Other APC Party Chieftains in Ekiti State”, dated November 6, addressed to the State Director of SSS, Adaramodu accused a member of the House of Representatives and governorship aspirant in the Ekiti Mr. Opeyemi Bamidele, of colluding with a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state to frame him up.
He alleged that certain individuals were listed to be arrested in connection with the Emure violence.
The Chief of Staff said that based on information available to him, those slated for arrest were to be accused of committing heinous crime.
He urged the SSS to stop the “evil plan against my person, Ekiti State Government officials and APC chieftains in the state”.
The petition reads in part, “You will recall my appeal to your esteemed office on the 16th of October, 2013 where I relayed the usual desperate attempt by the Peoples Democratic Party to cause disaffection between the Dr. Kayode Fayemi administration and President Goodluck Jonathan by distributing alleged state-sponsored leaflets against Mr. President who was visiting the state on the aforementioned day.
“This, as planned by the PDP, was widely circulated in various social media as a smokescreen, alleging the constitution of a committee comprising myself, Yemi Adaramodu; Senior Special Assistant on Security Matters, Ade Adesokan; Interim State Chairman of APC, Chief Jide Awe; Interim State Deputy Chairman of APC, Chief Dele Falusi; and state Chairman of Road Transport Employees Association of Nigeria, Mr. Rotimi Olanbiwonnu (Mentilo), as being assigned to disrupt Mr. President’s visit.
“Their plan, therefore, was to place the blame at the doorstep of the Dr. Kayode Fayemi administration and as a result instigate our arrest. However, the timely reportage to the security agencies saved this nefariousness.
