Ekiti Royal Feud: APC Chair Petitions CP Says, His Life Is In Danger

Following the royal feud rocking Imesi- Ekiti in Gboyin Local Government Area of Ekiti State, the state chairman of the All Progressive Congress APC, Hon. Paul Omotosho, has raised the alarm that some people were after his life over the ongoing kingship tussle.

Omotosho disclosed this in a petition he sent to the state’s Commissioner of Police Mr. Amba Asuquo, alleging that some people were after his life because of the ongoing kingship tussle.

He also noted that a publication had suggested that he was planning to impose his preferred candidate as king.

The petition written by his lawyers Olatunbosun Otitoju, on behalf of Omotosho titled “Threat to Life, Conduct Likely to Breach Public Peace and Criminal Defamation of Honourable Barrister Paul Omotosho”.

The petition reads “It is an incontrovertible fact that the widespread allegations against our clients are willfully targeted at injuring, maligning and smearing and dragging in the mud the hard-earned reputation, integrity and reputable household name built over the years.

“It is even to our client’s utmost chagrin and irksome consternation that our clients, who is not in any way whatsoever involved nor did anything capable of interfering with the statutory responsibilities and duties of the kingmakers of Imesi-Ekiti, could be a subject of horrendous, disparaging and defaming statement of Prince Adu Fasunlade and Prince Sesan Aladesanmi.

“As a result of the defamatory publication, our clients have suffered unquantifiable pecuniary, psychological loses. And even as now made our clients live in fear of the hatred, ridicule, harm, and attack in Imesi-Ekiti.

“This situation has also been heightened with the growing restiveness and enthronement of a state of anomie in the community consequent upon the continued and unabated instigation of the aforesaid defamatory publication.

“It is our understanding of the law and unscathed position of the extant laws that the above-narrated actions of the Head, Agunsoye Ruling House, Prince Adu Fasunlade and Secretary, Prince Sesan Aladesanmi and their cohorts can best be described as threat to life, conduct likely to breach peace and criminal defamation of our clients.

”It is in view of these facts that we implore and urge you to use your good office to wade into the matter by investigating, arresting and bringing to book Prince Fasunlade and Prince Aladesanmi and their cohorts and to curb the excesses of these hoodlums and criminal elements whose actions are capable of breaching the peace of the land.”

He however, beseeched the police to protect his client from the alleged planned assassination.
