Fayemi’s aide petitions SSS over alleged frame-up

Chief of Staff to Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State, Mr.
Yemi Adaramodu, has raised the alarm over plots to implicate
him and other leaders of the All Progressives Congress in the
state over the alleged killing of a member of the party.
Adaramodu, in a petition to the State Security Service, said
his detractors were plotting against him and other leaders of
the party.

In the petition entitled, "Attempt to Implicate Me and Other
APC Party Chieftains in Ekiti State", dated November 6,
addressed to the State Director of SSS, Adaramodu accused a
member of the House of Representatives and governorship
aspirant in the Ekiti Mr. Opeyemi Bamidele, of colluding with
a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state to frame
him up.

He alleged that certain individuals were listed to be arrested in
connection with the Emure violence.
The Chief of Staff said that based on information available to
him, those slated for arrest were to be accused of committing
heinous crime.

He urged the SSS to stop the "evil plan against my person,
Ekiti State Government officials and APC chieftains in the
state".

The petition reads in part, "You will recall my appeal to your
esteemed office on the 16th of October, 2013 where I relayed
the usual desperate attempt by the Peoples Democratic Party
to cause disaffection between the Dr. Kayode Fayemi
administration and President Goodluck Jonathan by
distributing alleged state-sponsored leaflets against Mr.
President who was visiting the state on the aforementioned
day.

"This, as planned by the PDP, was widely circulated in
various social media as a smokescreen, alleging the
constitution of a committee comprising myself, Yemi
Adaramodu; Senior Special Assistant on Security Matters,
Ade Adesokan; Interim State Chairman of APC, Chief Jide
Awe; Interim State Deputy Chairman of APC, Chief Dele
Falusi; and state Chairman of Road Transport Employees
Association of Nigeria, Mr. Rotimi Olanbiwonnu (Mentilo),
as being assigned to disrupt Mr. President's visit.

"Their plan, therefore, was to place the blame at the doorstep
of the Dr. Kayode Fayemi administration and as a result
instigate our arrest. However, the timely reportage to the
security agencies saved this nefariousness.
