There was an alleged faceoff between Osun State Governor,
Gboyega Oyetola, and a notorious thug, Kazeem Oyewale popularly called, ‘Asiri
Eniba’ on Sunday which has caused an uproar in the state.
It was gathered that Asiri Eniba gang members blocked the
route of Governor Oyetola’s convoy and engaged his security at old-garage in
the evening of Sunday.
An eyewitness disclosed that the gunshot was so much
that later forced the convoy to take another route and to save the life of the
governor.
It was also gathered that a dispute had ensued on Sunday afternoon between the governor’s security crew and Asiri Eniba at a function which allegedly impelled him to leave the function and to plot the attack when the convoy approached the Old-garage pack, Osogbo.
The thugs also allegedly destroyed the big banners of Gov
Oyetola mounted at Old-Garage.
It was gathered that the popular thug, Asiri Eniba, the
chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) Oroki Branch
is one of the leaders of the State Boys.
The notorious group was allegedly empowered by the
administration of Rauf Aregbesola who is now the Minister of Interior.
Hence, Asiri Eniba was said to have been enjoying the favour
of the present administration since the commencement of Governor Oyetola
administration.
The genesis of the feud between Asiri Eniba could not be
ascertained as at the time of filing this report. But operatives of Amotekun
corps have taken over the Old-garage and Ola-Iya motor parks since Monday.
Contacting the Special Adviser to the governor on security,
Mrs Abiodun Ige, she denied knowing anything about the attack. She said she was
not aware of any attack on the governor.
Ige said, “I was not with the convoy on Sunday, and I am not
aware of any faceoff or attack on the governor. You can contact the commander
of Amotekun to find out why they blocked the parks.”
Speaking with the Field Commander of Amotekun in the state,
Comrade Shittu Amitolu, he said that the corps decision to block the
parks was due to intelligence reports gathered that illegal drugs dealings were
transpiring inside the commercial motor parks.
Amitolu noted that Amotekun was empowered to fight criminal
activities such as illegal drug dealing, cultism and more.
