Omoyele Sowore, presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), and the Ekiti State Police Command have given conflicting accounts of an incident at a restaurant in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, on Friday.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Sunday Abutu, said the command received an alert that Sowore was having issues with some individuals at a restaurant in Ado-Ekiti and immediately deployed operatives to the scene. Abutu said the operatives rescued the AAC presidential candidate and took him to the Police Hospital, Ado-Ekiti, where he was receiving treatment. Sowore, in a statement published on his social media accounts, rejected the police description of the incident as an “altercation”. He accused the Ekiti State Police Command and the Department of State Services (DSS) of attempting to suppress evidence relating to the incident.
