“I was attacked and brutalized by Hon. Ojo Asein and his army of thugs for refusing to support his second term ambition because his first and second time as chairman and house of assembly member for three years running were colossal failure.
Mr. Friday Okele presented his litigation suit to the press with pictures of his battered face and body injuries along with Hon. Asein’s apology letter to him and his lawyer Mr. Afolabi sqr. to withdraw the suit against him.
As chair of the local government, it was alleged that Hon. Asein corruptly enriched himself to a total sum of N15 billion, set the council account department ablaze and killed the council account staff/officer, Mr. Friday Ohiorenuan who vowed to expose Asein’s illegal looting of the council funds.
The last is yet to be held on the arrest of Asein as the people are waiting patiently for justice with bathed breathes.
