Bullion Hotel CEO Urges IGP, Ogun CP To Investigate Alleged Police, Political Thugs Invasion Of Hotel
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Bullion Hotel, Simawa Area of Ogun State, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo and his legal team have called on the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun and the Ogun State Commissioner of Police to carry out a thorough investigation into the actions of the police officers, who reportedly accompanied political thugs to invade his hotel last Tuesday.
It would be recalled that about 20 thugs along with some men in police uniforms were said to have last Tuesday morning invaded Bullion Hotel.
Ajadi, a Chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party, (NNPP) and the party’s governorship Candidate in Ogun State in the March 2023 election, said he is demanding accountability and justice for the alleged misconduct of the officers, who he said invaded his hotel and ransacked the rooms without a search warrant.
He said that the incident has raised serious questions about the conduct and professionalism of law enforcement personnel in the state, prompting calls for reform within the Police Force.
In a scathing critique of the officers’ actions, Ajadi described their behaviour as unskilled and unprofessional, asserting that they displayed none of the qualities expected of law enforcement personnel in the discharge of their duties.
According to Ajadi, the officers along with the thugs, who he said were heavily armed, stormed the hotel in a commando manner in the early hours of Tuesday without any legal authorization and intimidated and embarrassed the occupants of the hotel.
He added that the police officers moved from one room to another searching underneath beds and wardrobes and giving blanket protection to thugs who he said stole items belonging to the staff and guests who lodged in the hotel.
He said, “it was unfortunate for the officers and the thugs as their illegal and nefarious activities were captured by the hotel’s CCTV.
“Furthermore, the officers were not properly attired. Instead of the standard police uniform and boots, they appeared in casual shirts and slippers, a stark deviation from the expected dress code,” Ajadi said.
Also speaking on the incident, the Head of Ajadi’s legal team, Barrister Isaac Izunya, said that the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Shimawa Police Station detained the individuals who had filed complaints about the incident and labeled them as suspects, and released the original attackers and marked them as complainants.
Izunya said, “the DPO did not just stop at that but went ahead to make a case of attempted murder on the alleged complainants, who left their various homes to come to the hotel and suffered this unprovoked attack.
“The poser that will be calling for an answer is, how can someone who was attacked in his own apartment be facing the case of attempted murder?
“There was no warrant to back up the arrest made by the police officers and the physical assault meted on the staff and the hotel’s guests,” he said.
