+how assailants freely used broken bottles, matchetes on victims

Bolaji Ariyo, the former personal assistant of political leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is facing a fresh round of accusation.

The Chairman of Oshodi/ Isolo Local council area is accused of unleashing violent attack on a group of individuals.

Mr Ariyo reportedly perfected the act in concert with a top shot of transport union, National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW)- Musiliu Akinsanya popularly known as M.C Oluomo.

Like the council boss, Oluomo who holds the position of State Treasurer of NURTW operates out of Oshodi.

Strangely the duo are accused of foisting mayhem on members of the political party they have affiliation with.

And the victims have petitioned party leader and Governor of Lagos state, Babatunde Fashola over the matter.

‘According to the petitioned titled ‘Assault, Thuggery and Violence in Oshodi-Isolo LGA’, members of the group were holding a meeting on 4th December, 2013, when hoodlums allegedly sponsored by the council boss and NURTW chief descended on them with dangerous weapons and unleashed terror on the members.

According to the petition, the hoodlums arrived in a Lagos-colour-painted Volkswagen bus with no registration number unleashing violence on the members of the APC Likeminds. They also destroyed their public address system and benches while scores of members were attacked with matchetes and broken bottles.

According to the group, in the ensuing violence, Mr Olufunmilayo Alabi was cut in the face while Dr Ariyo Akiode was battered in the head, just as scores of other members sustained one injury or the other.

“Information however has it that Musiliu Akinsanya a.k.a. MC in tandem with Hon Bolaji Muse-Ariyoh masterminded the act of violence,” the statement noted.

According to the petition, perpetrators of the violent attack include: one Olamide a.k.a. Pure Water; Dada a.k.a. Sparko; Murtala a.k.a. Justo; and Kehinde a.k.a. Fowosere. “Also included are Jenbe and Eba, a bouncer at Marablefilled Hotel,” the petition added.

The petition concluded with, “We hereby plead with Your Excellency and the Chairman of APC, Lagos State to assist us on this issue which is capable of negatively affecting the fortunes of our party and give room for detractors to find campaign tools against our party”.

The petition was signed by 10 members of the group including: Olufunmilayo Alabi, Dr Ariyoh Akiode, Igbayilola Mathew, Mrs. Bola Ajayi, Oladipo Sanyaolu, Mrs. Idayat Onitolo, Ayoade Ustas, Deji Onigbinde, Bola Isaac and Olujimi Sobowale’
