Ashiru to NDLEA: Who did you charge to court if drugs were found in my house?



Oyelola Yisa Ashiru, deputy majority leader of the senate, says the allegation by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) against him is false.

 

Ashiru’s denial came after the agency said the senator representing Kwara south is “bad mouthing” it because drugs were allegedly found in his home.

 

Last week, Ashiru said the agency is the “most corrupt and compromised government agency” – and this prompted the agency to make the claim.

 

In a statement on Monday, Olaitan Adeyanju, legislative aide to Ashiru, quoted him as wondering why the agency did not file charges against him if indeed drugs were found at his home in Kwara.

 

The senator said it is “preposterous and mere fishing” for NDLEA to make the claim after he spoke on the floor of the senate.

 

“As a matter of fact, Senator Ashiru never employed any aid bearing Ibrahim Mohammed and Mohammd Yahaya as bandied by NDLEA,” the statement reads.

 

“The agency claimed that its operatives visited the senator’s Ilorin house and found nothing incriminating. The entire house was searched, and nothing incriminating was found.

 

 “If any drugs were found on certain persons mentioned by the NDLEA, it is rational to ask at which court of law were the culprits charged?

 

“It is also important to state that Senator Ashiru has not sent any aide j as Tosin Odepidian. Indeed, all the names mentioned by the agency are strange, and none works directly or indirectly with Senator Ashiru.

 

“The NDLEA has the duty to take anyone suspected of drug dealing to court rather than name-calling and engaging in media trials.”

 

The senator said the NDLEA should search its house and “fish out bad eggs rather than seeking cheap publicity!”
