Presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore of the African Action Congress (AAC) has accused the Ekiti State Police Command and the Department of State Services (DSS) of stealing surveillance tape that showed an assault on him in Ado-Ekiti.
Sowore said on Friday through his verified X account that the owner of the restaurant where the incident occurred had the surveillance footage confiscated by the security services.
We were brutally attacked in Ado-Ekiti, and the owner of the restaurant has had the CCTV footage taken from him by the Ekiti State Police Command and the DSS, he said, but they are trying to bury the evidence to protect the perpetrators.
We now know that the police and DSS are trying to bury this vital evidence in an effort to protect the perpetrators, despite the fact that the attacks were caught on camera. As for us, we’re familiar with them,” continued Sowore.
This was an intentional effort to hide the attack and shield the criminals, he claims.
