Former governor of Ogun state, Aremo Olusegun Osoba on Tuesday raised the alarm over threat to his life by unknown persons suspected to be agents working for political opponents in the state.
In a press statement issued in Abeokuta signed by one of Osoba’s political associates, Honourable Adekunle Adeyemi, the former governor alleged that the political climate in the state was assuming “a dangerous dimension” as political opponents now monitor his movements with drones.
The former governor explained that two people: a lady and a young man were caught using drone to monitor goings within his compound located at the Ibara GRA residence in Abeokuta, the state capital.
“Alert security staff of Chief Osoba were able to bring down the drone and got operators of the drone arrested.
“Neither of the arrested younger star was able to give coherent explanation to Chief Osoba’s security staff”.
Osoba further explained that he had just arrived Abeokuta at the early hours of Tuesday from a journey to the United Kingdom and was preparing for a private meeting about modalities for a peaceful conduct of the presidential party primary schedules for Friday when the incident occurred.
“This will be another in the series of breach of security of Chief Osoba’s private security. Few years ago, unknown people invades part of the compound and took reasonable time to dig out buried armoured cable. This was done in most professional manner”.
Osoba in the statement further recalled that similar incident had happened sometimes ago when two bungalows within his Abeokuta residence were vandalized by unknown hoodlums.
