Gov Abiodun accuses Sagamu youths of attempts to loot banks, attack DPO

Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State has accused some youths of Sagamu area of the state of attempts to loot banks and the local government secretariat under the guise of protesting the death of the Remo stars footballer, Kazeem Tiyamiyu, Monday.

The governor also said the youths attempted to attack the Sagamu Divisional Police Officer and to burn an armoured personnel carrier.

It was reported that Tiyamiyu, known as Kaka, died on Saturday as residents of Sagamu alleged that the footballer was killed by men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).

It was also gathered that yesterday’s protest turned riotous, reportedly leading to fatalities.

But, Abiodun said some youths refused to remain calm even after they have been urged to eschew violence as they took advantage of the protest to commit crimes.

“Contrary to the promise of restraint given by the youth, a while after the peace meeting, some youth defied the calls for restraint and decided to take the advantage of the situation by embarking on activities that further aggravated the already tense situation. They attempted to attack the Divisional Police Station, burn the police Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC), and even loot the banks and local government headquarters,” Abiodun said.

Gov Abiodun, in a live Facebook video last night, said he received briefings from security chiefs in the state on the matter, saying he deemed it fit to share the information with the public.

The governor said his government would not tolerate any breach of peace in Sagamu, while sounding a note of warning that anybody caught fomenting trouble would face the wrath of the law.

Abiodun said he had informed the Presidency about the unfortunate incident, adding that he had got assurances for the restoration of normalcy.

According to him, security has been beefed up in Sagamu, including the deployment of soldiers.

He appealed to all law-abiding indigenes of the area to go about their lawful businesses without any fear of molestation.

“Let me assure all the good citizens of Ogun State and residents of Sagamu that they should go about their lawful business without any fear of molestation whatsoever. I wish to sound a note of warning that anyone that attempts to capitalise on the unfortunate incident to foment any trouble or engage in activity that is in breach of public peace and order will be subjected to full force of law. Parents and guardians should caution their children and wards to refrain from confrontation with law enforcement agents whilst carrying out their responsibilities of maintain law and order,” he said

Apart from this recent crisis, when last have you read anything about him, most especially developments

Dapo that never his home in Banana Island will know the activities in Ogun.

God bless the good people of Sagamu if they did that.

Since you morons in power have decided to humiliate poor people with SARS criminals, then you must suffer the backlash.

Every SARS official is now fair game for jungle justice. When thousand of people invade their station, they can only kill a few people still they are caught and bludgeoned to death.

That's ehn.
This his response sounds more like that an illiterate would make after taking several bottles of N50 monkey tail.
See what a so called governor is saying.
No empathy,no sense of reasoning that even the alleged attempt to attack the DPO and police station could be a result of pent up anger.
For heaven's sake,even in America,the most developed country in the world,people still go on worse rampage over the death of anyone they fill was unjustifiably killed by the police.Several stations get burnt,cops get attacked,shops,business centres get attacked and vandalized,but a mayor,talkless the affected state governor will never come out and issue such insensitive and nonsensical statement.

The best way to deal wit killer cops is to get info about their families and every thng that is so dear to them, once u get the info wipe them all off the earth surface.

Those who killed Chima are nt ghosts, they have families, locate their families & take them out of this World.

No Justice will be served on those killer Cops the Police wll always protect and shield them.

The same Police said Kaka jumped out of the Car that he wasn't pushed.

They will free the killer Cop and redeploy him to another State to continue unleashing terror on innocent citizens, same thng they wll do to those that killed Chima.

I blame those who didn't burn the SARS guy alive when he was caught.

while it may be possible because i remember i have to take a detour during one protest 2 decades ago in the Uni.

I have to because right before me, it was no longer a protest but a looting spree.

However.

One thing am very sure of is that as usual, our police MUST have handled it in their normal unprofessional manner.

argue with your keyboard.
