TWO fake security men, who claimed to be President Mohammadu Buhari’s
private security aides, were on Saturday arrested at the Afao-Ekiti
country home of the Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose.
The suspects who presented themselves as staff of the Office
of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), with influence over the report
of the military panel set up to investigate alleged involvement of some
soldiers in partisan politics during the 2014/ 2015 gubernatorial
election conducted in Ekiti and Osun States.
The two men, Benedict Ola Idega and Abdulsalami Leader H.
claimed that they already have the preliminary report of the military
panel and that with the cooperation of the governor; they could
manipulate the final report if necessary. They also said the army
panel report was targeted at some top army officers that the Federal
Government wanted to punish.
Fayose, who was suspicious of the men’s real intentions, informed the
State Commissioner of Police and Director of the State Security
Service, with the Police Commissioner already putting men of the State
Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) on standby.
The two men, in a meeting with the governor presented what they
called photocopy of page three of the preliminary report to show that
they meant business. The purported copy of the page three bore the logo
of the Nigerian Army.
After turning copy of the page three of the purported preliminary
report, the governor gave the impression that he was satisfied with all
that they said and asked them to wait at his waiting room for him to
show appreciation. He then called in the Commissioner of Police and SSS
Director, who in turn asked their men to move in and arrest the two men.
The identity card found on Abdulsalami Leader H bore “GMB SECURITY”
and it was stated at the back that he (Abdulsalami) is the security of
Gen. Mohammadu Buhari with Number 34, Lobitto Crescent, Wuse II, Abuja
as issuer’s address and 088133636478 and 08057010255 as telephone
numbers. Benedict Ola Idega was with identity card bearing Federal
Capital Development Authority.
The two men, who lodged at a popular hotel along Bank Road, Ado Ekiti
are now being detained at the Police Headquarters, Ado Ekiti alongside
another suspected accomplice, who was found in their hotel room when
policemen visited the hotel for a search.
Special Assistant to the governor on Public Communications and New
Media, Lere Olayinka, who confirmed the incident said even though it has
been established that they were impersonators, the real intention of
the men were yet to be ascertained.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr Alberto Adeyemi
confirmed the arrest saying the fake security officers are still under
interrogation.
