ACN accuses SSS director of colluding with PDP

The Action Congress of Nigeria has accused the Director, State Security Service, Osun State, Mr Olusegun Adegboye, of colluding with the Peoples Democratic Party to foment trouble in the state during the oncoming general elections. In another breath, the acting Chairman, Osun PDP, Mr Sunday Ojo-Williams, has accused the ACN of planning to use the police in perpetrating violence during the election. Addressing a news conference in Osogbo, on Tuesday, acting Chairman, Osun ACN, Mr. Adebiyi Adelowo, said the SSS director mistakenly phoned him, on Monday, thinking he was phoning the state chairman of the PDP. He said, “Can you imagine that the State Director of SSS is part and parcel of the grand PDP scheme to unleash terror on the people of Osun State. The PDP has obtained a court order preventing the police or the SSS from arresting any of their members. They want to perpetrate violence and go scot free. “The SSS director called me on Monday, March 28, 2011. After a brisk exchange of pleasantries, the SSS director gleefully said, ‘We have the document and we are in court with it already.’ “I was nonplused as I did not have a prior discussion on any matter with him. When it was obvious that he was talking to the wrong person, the SSS director apologised and dropped off. “The person he wanted to speak with was the PDP acting chairman in the state. The PPD had gone to court on Monday asking the court to bar the police from arresting them before and during the election.” Ojo-Williams accused the state government of recruiting several serving and fake policemen to unleash violence in the state during the election.
