The Ondo State Deputy Governor, Mr Agboola
Ajayi, has cried out to the Inspector-General of
police accusing the Ondo state Police
Commissioner, Mr Bolaji Salami of withdrawing
his police escort.

Recall that the deputy governor recently
decamped to the Peoples Democratic Party
from the All Progressives Congress.

The CP had on Saturday blocked the deputy
governor on his way out of the government
house with his official vehicle.

In a statement issued on Wednesday by his
Chief Press Secretary, Mr Tope Okeowo, the
deputy governor said the withdrawal of the
escort had been putting his life, that of his
family and staff in danger.

He said, “We are not oblivious of their
surreptitious move to undermine the security
of the deputy governor and strip him of his
security apparatus to make him venerable in
order to carry out their evil agenda.

“President Buhari, the Inspector General of
Police, Mohammed Adamu, and the Director-
General of Department of State Services, Yusuf
Bichi should be aware of this latest ugly
development in Ondo State.

“Should anything happen to the Deputy
Governor, his family and staff, the
Commissioner of Police in Ondo State should be
held responsible.”

In a reaction, the state Police Public Relations
Officer, Mr Tee-Leo Ikoro, denied the allegation,
saying there was no such plan from the CP.

“That should be a rumour, the CP cannot
withdraw the escort of the deputy governor,
the man is still the deputy governor of this
state and he has the right to have his escorts.

His escorts are there intact. So there is nothing
like that.”
