<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Trouble makers and political thugs will henceforth have no hiding place in Kwara State. This was disclosed by the Commissioner of Police in charge of Kwara State Command, Mr. Kayode Egbetokun during an on-the-spot assessment after the political crisis in Ojoku on Wednesday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It will be recalled that violent broke out in Ojoku on Wednesday during a political campaign rally during which two people were killed and dozens others injured with properties worth millions of naira destroyed. Trouble started when an armed group of youths attacked the campaign train of the APC senatorial candidate for Kwara South, Architect Lola Ashiru who was leading his campaign train to the palace of the traditional ruler of the community. During the attack by persons suspected to be supporters of the PDP senatorial candidate who is from Ojoku, Senator Rafiu Ibrahim, two people were killed and many others injured including Ashiru who escaped death by the whiskers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Egbetokun said arrests have been made and a manhunt has been launched for other suspects who are on the run. Among those arrested, according to the police, was Kasim Omole who was said to be the arrow head of the attack. Others are Segun Ologunebi, Semiu Lawal, Olatunji Usman, Racheal Ogunde and Seun Kolapo. He said all suspects arrested would be charged to court as soon as investigations were concluded.</div>

<br />
The police commissioner, however, assured residents of the community to go about with their normal legal businesses without fear as his men are on top of the situation.<br />
<br />
<b>Stop intimidating our members - PDP</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, the opposition People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State has asked the police to stop intimidating its members by the spurious arrests being made. The party stated this in a release made available to newsmen in Ilorin following the arrest of some political thugs and troublemakers by the police over recent political violence in Ojoku in the Oyun Local Government Area of the State.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the Kwara State publicity secretary of  the PDP, Mr. Tunde Ashaolu, the police are intimidating their members with the arrest as he said there have been a reduction in the turnout of the party members and supporters since the police began what he called "spurious arrests". Ashaolu said the arrest was spurious because most of his party members arrested had no hands in the violence at Ojoku. He specifically mentioned the name of Olatunji Usman who he said was not in Kwara State on the day of the incident as a case study.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He appealed to the police to investigate those so far arrested and release those who are "innocent like Usman".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ashaolu called on the members and supporters of the PDP to maintain peace and avoid provocation by those he said "cannot win a single vote without violence".</div>

<i><b>Ikorodu</b></i><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><br /></div>
Violence erupted yesterday in the Gberigbe area of Ikorodu community, Lagos when
some hoodlums numbering about 30 attacked the home of a suspected homosexual. 
<div><br /></div>
<div>
  According to an eyewitness who pleaded anonymity, the hoodlums who came on
  motorcycles and minivans were armed with dangerous weapons including locally
  made guns and machetes. The target of the attack, according to our source, was
  a man who lives in the community and was accused of being gay. 
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
  The man whose identity could not be immediately verified as at the time of
  filing this report was said to have been caught having sex with another man of
  northern origin at a hotel (names withheld) in the neighboring street. Local
  security men were said to have raced to the hotel after being tipped off by an
  unnamed person with information on the forbidden act. Upon their arrest, the
  suspects were reportedly handed over to the police for further investigation
  and prosecution. 
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
  However, information was said to have reached the youths in the community that
  the suspects have been released by the police after five days in detention.
  This, our source said, angered the local security men who arrested the
  suspects initially before they were handed over to the police. It was gathered
  that the aggrieved youths mobilized and headed to the residence of one of the
  suspects who resides in the community. 
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
  "It was as if a war has broken out", said our source while narrating the sad
  event to our correspondent. "Everyone ran to safety because we didn't know
  what was happening. Gunshots were fired sporadically that at a point I thought
  it was cultists that have invaded our community. But when they started shouting the name of Alhaji<b> </b>Moshood<b> </b>(the suspected gay), my mind became relaxed"
  explained our source. 
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
  It was reported that the suspect popularly known within the community as Alhaji Moshood was the
  target of the attack. However, mother luck was on his side as neither him nor
  any member of his family was at home. "In annoyance that they did not meet him
  at home, the hoodlums vandalized the house and destroyed many items within
  their sights in the man's compound", our source continued. 
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
  According to our source, the hoodlums came with an intention to kill the
  suspect as they kept calling on him to surrender himself to them. They were
  reported to have accused the police of bias and said if the police could not
  do justice, they would take the law into their hands and do the necessary
  justice. 
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
  Our findings further revealed that the other man said to have been caught and
  arrested with Alhaji Moshood has since his release by the police returned to the
  northern city where he came from while the whereabouts of Alhaji Moshood and his
  family members remain unknown. 
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
  It should be noted that same sex relationship is a criminal offence in Nigeria
  in particular, and most African countries in general.
