‘They continue to fly helicopters over the Government House and Governor’s Office’, Fayose cries out
Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has raised a fresh alarm over police intimidation.
The governor who spoke via a press release by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, said the police had kept a permanent surveillance over the Government House.
“They continue to fly helicopters over the Government House and Governor’s Office in a way that compromises the safety and well-being of residents and workers.
“The helicopter flies so low that it runs the risk of crashing into high-rise buildings and masts within the premises.”
“The noise pollution this causes is enough irritation. This brazen show of naked force and abuse of power is as ungodly as it is undemocratic.

“It is unprofessional of the security forces to allow themselves be this debased, running APC errands when they are funded with resources that belong to all of us.
“They are obligated by the Constitution to be apolitical and not willing tools in the hands of the powers-that-be.
“Once again, I say I will not be intimidated. I will stand on my feet until every injustice is upturned and the freedom and liberties of our people are restored.
“The thief runneth when no one pursueth. They are afraid of their shadows”.
