ACN raises alarm over LP’s plot to kill chieftains

A group on the platform of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN),the Independent Campaign Network (ICN), yesterday raised the alarm over an alleged plot by the Labour Party (LP) government to kill some chieftains of the ACN in Owo Local Government.
The group also alleged that some of the governor’s aides, who hail from the community, had imported arms for the attack.
A statement signed by ICN’s Director, Communication and Strategy Bureau, Mr. Bosun Oladimeji, said some of the weapons imported included 36 AK 47 rifles, six pistols and motorcycles.
He alleged that the arms would be distributed to the party’s thugs who are to attack at night.
Oladimeji said: “Information reaching us has proved that the arms and ammunition were imported into the community by Governor Mimiko’s aides last night (Wednesday night) and kept in the campaign office of a commissioner in Mimiko’s exco, who is from the town.
“We warn members of the Amalgamated Motorcycle Owners and Riders Association of Nigeria (ACOMORAN) not to allow some desperate politicians to tarnish the image of the association.
“We urge security agencies to investigate this matter, because our party leaders are not animals. Is it a crime for someone to be a member of the ACN in Ondo State? It is now clear to the world that Mimiko is jittery over the rising profile of the ACN.
“It is unfortunate that the security operatives have failed to guarantee the safety of members of the opposition parties. But no amount of intimidation or harassment will stop the electorate from voting out the LP government.”
