Ogun Lawmakers At War

Posted on June 6, 2018 by

Two Ogun State lawmakers, Adebiyi Adeleye who represents Remo North Constituency in Ogun State House of Assembly and Adeyinka Mafe, Majority Leader of the House are now at war.

The former (Adeleye) has cried out that he has received several threats and attack on his life by the latter (Mafe). Adeleye narrated… “Hoodlums sponsored by Mafe, attacked me physically during the coronation of the Odemo of Isara, Oba Albert Adebose Mayungbe, on May 24. I arrived at the venue of the ceremony in company of my supporters, when some hoodlums led by one Segun Agabi, started hitting us and eventually prevented us from sitting at the main arena of the ceremony.”

“The hoodlums were boasting that they were sent and instructed by Mafe to attack and strip me naked, if I was sighted at the coronation. The hoodlums later invaded my constituency office with guns and other dangerous weapons and shot sporadically to scare residents.”

“The hoodlums shattered my office with stones and bottles, they did not meet me, but they manhandled my office assistant. The incident has been reported at the Nigeria Police Zonal Headquarters, Zone 2, Onikan, Lagos State, and four persons have been arrested in connection with the incident.”

However, reacting to Adebiyi Adeleye’s allegation, Mafe retorted that… “I am amazed by the cheap blackmail from a colleague, if truly he said so. I didn’t attend the coronation with thugs. I am aware that there was an altercation between him, his supporters and the youths of the town.”

“But I suspected it is local politics or the fact that he was perceived as being opposed to the installation of the new monarch. I was seated on the high table with the Kabiyesi and other dignitaries throughout the occasion, but he was seated in the crowd. So I cannot say exactly what transpired.”

 “I left the venue for Sagamu after the presentation of staff of office and acceptance speech by Kabiyesi. I am not even aware that he has defected from APC because as the Majority Leader of the Ogun State House of Assembly, the House records show he is still in APC.”
