Ekiti guber: DIG denies authorizing use of force, says mistake won’t repeat itself
has denied that he ordered his officers to use teargas on the crowd at
the rally of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Security agents took over the premises and allegedly fired teargas at
Governor Ayodele Fayose.
The teargas allegedly left Fayose unconscious for about five minutes,
before he was resuscitated by party supporters and taken to the
Government House Clinic.
But Joshak has denied instructing his officers to use such force and
promised "such mistake will never repeat itself".
"What I said was that those massing for the rally should be asked to
leave because it is not good going by the mood of the state now to
hold rally or street procession.
"I didn't say they should use force. This is an election and
electioneering is a civil matter anywhere across the globe, so police
as security agents can't use force on the people. But I want to assure
the good people of Ekiti State that such mistake will never repeat
itself," Joshak stated.
The Police have already dismantled the barricades they mounted at the
entrance to the Ekiti State Government House in Ado-Ekiti.
