Developing Story: Fayose may be under arrest!

October 15, 2006
Fresh reports from unconfirmed security sources says that ex-Gov. Fayose of Ekiti State who went missing shortly before his impeachment today might be under arrest by security agents at the border in Idi-Iroko, Ogun State. Another source also said that the SSS might have played pranks on the embattled governor by encouraging him to flee only to apprehend him before crossing the borders the same way Charles Taylor was tricked by Nigerian security agents before his arrest and subsequent handover to the Special Court in Sierra Leone.

Information reaching  Saharareporters from Abuja, Nigeria's seat of power indicate that the Attorney General of the Nigeria, Chief Bayo Ojo has declared the removal of Ekiti State Chief judge, Justice Bamisile as illegal, and accordingly all actions undertaken by the acting chief judge, Justice Aladejana as 'unconstitutional'.

 In what strikes as an ambiguous public statement, he threatened that the federal government will not tolerate a 'break down of  law and order' in Ekiti State, he did not specify what will become of the newly sworn in governor in Ekiti State, Mr. Friday Aderemi. However, he boasted that the judicial officers involved in the unconstitutional matter will be punished accordingly by legal authorities.

 He also maintained that the PDP will be left to punish its erring members who engaged in the unconstitutional acts in Ekiti State giving the impression that President Obasanjo was unhappy with the outcome of the Ekiti crisis because his continued insistence that the deputy governor, Mrs. olujimi be allowed to take over from Governor Fayose who fled the state yesterday morning to an unknown destination was not heeded by the 24 lawmakers.
