BREAKING!! Police Arrests PDP SENATOR For Allegedly KILLING Two Persons
Senator Rafiu Ibrahim representing Kwara South Constituency has been arrested by the Police ahead of Saturday’s elections.
Rafiu Ibrahim was invited for questioning following allegations he orchestrated a violence that broke out in Ojoku, Kwara State, four days ago, police said.
The Tuesday night incident left two persons dead, reports said.
Kwara police spokesperson Ajayi Okasanmi said;
“We invited him for questioning on Thursday, and he was with us for several hours”.
Mr Ibrahim’s associates said he remained in custody as of Friday morning.
Mr Ibrahim, of the Peoples Democratic Party, was accused of unleashing a group of armed attackers against Lola Ashiru, his All Progressives Congress challenger in Kwara South.
Mr Ashiru was reportedly on a campaign stop in Ojoku, Mr Ibrahim’s ancestral hometown, on Tuesday night when supporters of both camps clashed.
Both camps have blamed one another for the deadly incident.
Mr Ibrahim’s supporters accused the police of inviting and detaining only the senator, while leaving Mr Ashiru to continue his campaign ahead of the election on Saturday.
They said his detention could hinder his election strategy, while conferring advantage on his opponent.
