According to Sowore, hours later, they had been violently attacked, injured, and robbed by armed thugs in broad daylight.
“Ekiti State Government’s shameless denial cannot conceal its complicity in the brutal attack on me and my team.
“That warning was no coincidence. It was the clearest pointer to who knew the attack was coming, who approved it, and who protected these accountable. Let the Ekiti State Government start its clarification from there!
“Why was the Governor’s Chief Security Officer warning that my safety could not be guaranteed hours before armed thugs descended on us? Who authorized that call? What did the Governor know, and when did he know it?” Sowore requested.
The incident comes as political rigidity rises forward of 2027 elections.
