Attack on Senator Adeola’s security detail: You Lied, Group Tells Akinosi, says lawmaker is a Pathological liar
A group, Ogun West Coalition for Good Governance (OWECOGG) has described the claims of a member of House of Representatives representing Ota Federal Constituency at the National Assembly, Tunji Akinosi, that he assaulted a police security detail of Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, because he disrespected the Ogun State deputy governor, Mrs Noimot Salako-Oyedele, at the grand finale of Odun Omo Iganmode Festival held recently in Ota, as “untrue and lies from the pit of hell’.
The group, in a statement signed by its Convener, Adeosun Benjamin otherwise known as Benji, in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, on Thursday, said Akinosi did not only give a feeble excuse for his dishonourable act, but concocted lies to mislead the general public.
According to Benjamin, the House of Reps member at the event deliberately attacked the security detail attached to Senator Adeola to create false impression that Awori people are hostile to the senator representing Ogun West.
He said a video evidence revealed that the deputy governor was not even at the scene of the incident, wondering why Akinosi would defend his crude actions by reeling out blatant lies to the public.
Benjamin who disclosed that he was among the people at the scene, explained that the House of Reps member was acting a script already planned to cause ruckus at the venue of the event to douse the rousing welcome that would greet the arrival of Senator Adeola.
He pointed out that the lawmaker is known for his disposition to violent behaviour, recalling how he hit a hawker with his vehicle and even threatened to beat up a woman who challenged his actions.
Benjamin said Akinosi is a “serial assaulter” who usually covers up his misdeeds with lies, adding that his recent attack on a security officer in Ota is well recorded and documented.
He, therefore, challenged the member of the lower chamber of the National Assembly, to produce the proof and evidence of the disrespect on the deputy governor by the security detail.
While expressing his disappointment at the “uncouth and abrasive” manners of the former Commissioner for Forestry in Ogun State, the Convener of OWECOGG said that the physical assault on the senior police detail clearly showed harboured resentment he has for the senator.
He stated further that the group not only condemns Akinosi’s unwarranted attack on the police officer, which according to him is an attack on Senator Adeola, but demands an apology from the lawmaker.
Benjamin submitted in the statement that rather for the House of Reps member to feed the people with lies, he should be honourable enough to accept his impulsive albeit repulsive actions during the grand finale of Odun Omo Iganmode Festival.
