The Ekiti State Police Command and Governor @biodunaoyebanji have yet to return our stolen devices traced to the Government House in Ado-Ekiti since the assassination attempt on me last week. We have been informed that Governor Biodun Oyebanji personally instructed the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) Commander, Ogidan, to hand over our recovered devices to him yesterday. Why would the Governor take possession of evidence connected to the brutal attack on us? Since we released the chilling videos exposing the faces of members of the armed gang that tried to kill us on October 30, the Ekiti State Governor, Commissioner of Police, and DSS have all suddenly gone silent! No arrests of the key culprit who have been seen in meetings planning for Tinubu’s campaign coming up in Ekiti soon Not a word from the Governor. Not a word from the @PoliceNG CP. Not a word from the @OfficialDSSNG

This is the Sowore’s security man that was attacked in Ekiti. This is a man who takes his responsibility seriously, stands his ground and puts himself on the line while protecting others. Now, look at the footage of the attackers wielding machetes and brutally assaulting him. If those cowards responsible are truly as bold as they appeared in that footage, let them come forward, identify themselves and face him man to man. Let them demonstrate their courage without their mob and face him. Respect to Sebon always 🫡
BREAKING: MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH AS CHILLING ATTACK VIDEO REVEALS FACES OF ATTACKERS IN BRUTAL ASSAULT ON @SOWORE, TEAM IN ADO-EKITI Fresh video evidence has emerged showing the faces of individuals identified as participants in the October 30, 2026, armed attack on leaders and me, as well as members of the African Action Congress (AAC) and members of his team in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, who assaulted one of our team members. The breakthrough comes amid disturbing revelations that CCTV recordings from Tawakalitu Restaurant, where the attack occurred, have reportedly been completely erased after police officers and the DSS took possession of the equipment and took it to Government House only to return it this evening without any images. Today, I contacted the Ekiti State Commissioner of Police, Michael Falade; the Ado-Ekiti Central Police Station DPO, Mustapha Mohammed; and the state's Rapid Response Squad (RRS) Commander to demand updates on the investigation. Shockingly, the officers claimed there was "no complainant" because I had not submitted a written statement, despite police rescuing the victims, taking them to their hospital, arresting suspects, and recovering weapons, stolen phones, and other devices. I questioned the officers about stolen phones electronically traced to the Governor's Lodge and the missing CCTV recordings; they denied knowledge and abruptly ended their conversations. In another development, Tawakalitu Restaurant management reportedly confirmed that a DPO returned the CCTV equipment, but the recordings had been completely wiped. The management refused to identify the officer responsible for returning the equipment. This is an indication of a coordinated cover-up by the @PoliceNG hierarchy in Ekiti State However, the newly recovered video provides crucial leads in identifying individuals involved in the attack. Their identities and roles need a credible independent body to investigate, and we call for the removal of the CP and other officers involved in the cover-up.

BREAKING: FRESH REVELATIONS LINK PRESIDENT TINUBU’S AIDE SUNDAY ASEFON AND Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu's IN-LAW, EKITI-BORN FHA BOSS OYETUNDE OJO TO THE ALLEGED ASSASSINATION PLOT AGAINST ME IN ADO-EKITI! Fresh information from our sources points to Asefon Sunday Dayo, former NANS President and SSA to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on "Student Engagement," as one of the alleged ringleaders of the October 30, 2026, assassination attempt against me and members of my team in Ado-Ekiti. Our sources identify Asefon’s bodyguard and enforcer, Ayodeji Akintade Ifeoluwa, as one of those deployed to lead the attack (he was the one in green polo wielding and using machette on our team members) alongside Sola Adenijo, aka Solar, whom we have identified as a principal coordinator of the armed assault. We have also received information implicating "Hon" Oyetunde Oladimeji Ojo, Managing Director of the Federal Housing Authority (FHA), Tinubu’s son-in-law and husband of Folashade Tinubu-Ojo. Our sources claim he mobilized Sola Adenijo aka "Solar" for the operation. Asefon was in Ekiti for a #CityBoys Movement event on Thursday, October 29. According to information available to us, DSS operatives and Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s Chief Security Officer, CSP Ayodele Akinlua, alerted individuals connected to the event about my presence. We are informed that a prolonged meeting followed, during which the attack was planned. The following morning, CSP Akinlua called Moyinoluwa Olowoyo Gigabytes Nation, popularly known as Gigabytes, an #EndSARS activist and member of the Take It Back (TIB) Movement, warning him that my safety could not be guaranteed if I participated in political activities in Ekiti State. Our sources further claim that discussions were held with "Hon" Makinde Araoye, organizer of the @ikogosimarathon Marathon, concerning the cancellation of my participation in Saturday’s race. We have received information suggesting that the announcement was deliberately delayed in anticipation of the planned attack against me. Hon Makinde Araoye announced soon as the attack took place, stating I was banned from participating in Ikogosi marathon According to the information we have gathered, the initial plan was to attack us at MIDAS 90.5 FM station in Ado-Ekiti, where I granted a one-hour interview between 12 noon and 1 p.m. on Friday, October 30. However, we left the radio station before the group reportedly assembling at Fajuyi Park could complete its mobilization. Our sources indicate that individuals on motorcycles subsequently followed our team, tracking our movements with the aid of another person until armed attackers descended on us at Tawakalitu Restaurant in Dalimore area of Ado-Ekiti, where we were brutally assaulted. We have also received disturbing accounts alleging that DSS operatives and police personnel accompanied or assisted the attackers. These claims emanated from eyewitnesses. the police CP in Ekiti State Command, Michael Falade later claimed it was an "altercation" and that those of us attacked only sustained minor injuries. Remember, Asefon Sunday Dayo previously threatened to attack me when he was NANS President. We survived the brutal attack, and the revolutionary struggle must continue. #RevolutionNow #TinubuMustGo

They didn’t start planning this attack on Friday! This fellow, Asiwaju Kasali Oludlfemi, an @OfficialAPCNg operative, began issuing threats against me since 2025 long before the latest brutal attack on me and members of my team in Ado-Ekiti on Friday, October 30, 2026. As soon as we were attacked, he was openly celebrating the violence unleashed against us. The second slide shows his latest threat against me!

How about you Focus on @Sowore and Adebayo who have provided theirs? Seems you are part of the problem too
Is that Nigerians don’t care or they like bad leadership? The three candidates; Tinubu, ObI and Atiku haven’t provided a manifesto to articulate their promises and Nigerians are mute! Less than 80 days to elections! Is it that Nigerians don’t deserve any level of accountability?

“We all want the same thing”? How can you as an adult citizen with functional brain thinks you want the same thing as Atiku and his likes? Dear young people, your aspirations and the interests of these rulers are diametrically opposed!
If i was Seyi Makinde, Atiku, Sowore etc. no need to waste time and money campaigning, just swallow your pride and join a wave of change. We all want thesame thing and its to retire all the criminality associated with the Apc

STOP PLAYING WITH FIRE: A WARNING TO THE EKITI STATE GOVERNMENT AND ITS COLLABORATORS. A phone stolen from a member of our team during the attack in Ado-Ekiti on Friday has now been traced to the Governor’s Lodge. This is no longer just an allegation. It is a direct trail that leads back to the seat of power in Ekiti State. Hours before the attack, the Chief Security Officer to Governor @biodunaoyebanji had already warned that safety could not be guaranteed. Now a stolen phone from the scene has surfaced at the Governor’s Lodge. @biodunaoyebanji and @ekitistategov, this cannot be explained away with insults or denials. The Nigeria Police Force and the DSS must immediately release the full CCTV footage from Tawakalitu Restaurant to the public. The evidence must not be concealed or altered. Your government’s silence on the relationship with Sola Adenijo (Solar), the advance warning from the Governor’s CSO, and now this stolen phone traced to the Lodge all point to the same thing: complicity. You are pushing Nigerians to the wall with desperation and overzealousness. You are not more important than the people you are desperate to rule over. This is not leadership. It is wickedness. Release the CCTV footage now. Explain how a phone stolen from our team ended up at the Governor’s Lodge. Stop treating victims as suspects. You are playing with fire. Be careful.

EKITI STATE GOVERNMENT’S SHAMELESS DENIAL CANNOT CONCEAL ITS COMPLICITY IN THE BRUTAL ATTACK ON @SOWORE AND HIS TEAM RESPONSE TO THE OCTOBER 31, 2026 PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE EKITI STATE GOVERNMENT Hours before more than 100 armed thugs descended on members of my team and me in Ado-Ekiti on Friday, October 30, 2026, the Chief Security Officer (CSO) to Governor @biodunaoyebanji, CSP Ayodele Akinlua, had already issued a chilling warning about my safety. At approximately 7:30 a.m. that morning, CSP Akinlua called Moyinoluwa Olowoyo, popularly known as Gigabytes, and warned that my safety could not be guaranteed if I proceeded with political activities in Ekiti State. Hours later, we were violently attacked, injured, and robbed by armed thugs in broad daylight. That warning was no coincidence. It was the clearest pointer to who knew the attack was coming, who authorized it, and who protected those responsible. Let the Ekiti State Government begin its explanation from there! Why was the Governor’s Chief Security Officer warning that my safety could not be guaranteed hours before armed thugs descended on us? Who authorized that call? What did the Governor know, and when did he know it? The statement issued by Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s Chief Press Secretary, Olayinka Oyebode, reeks of vitriol, political animosity, contempt, and barely concealed hostility toward my person. Rather than condemn an outrageous act of political violence, express concern for those injured or demand justice, the government insulted the victims, questioned my motives, and trivialized a coordinated armed attack as an ordinary altercation. That extraordinary display of hostility lends further credence to our allegation that the governors using elements within the Ekiti State Government were complicit in the attack. The government describes me as an "inconsequential presidential candidate." If I am so inconsequential, why was the Governor’s security apparatus monitoring my movements? Why did DSS operatives disrupt my political meeting at a restaurant? Why was a warning issued concerning my safety? And why were more than 100 armed thugs subsequently mobilized to descend on us? More importantly, the Ekiti State Government has failed to address its relationship with Sola Adenijo, popularly known as Solar, whom we identify as the leader of the armed gang that attacked us. We maintain that Sola Adenijo, aka Solar, is on the payroll of the Ekiti State Government. Remarkably, the government’s statement does not deny any relationship with him, nor does it explain the nature of its dealings with this individual. We challenge Governor Oyebanji and his government to publicly disclose whether Sola Adeniji receives payments, contracts, appointments, stipends, or any other financial benefits from the state government, directly or indirectly. A blanket denial of involvement is no substitute for answering these specific questions. We also demand the immediate preservation, recovery, and public release of the CCTV footage of the attack. The Ekiti State Government should direct the appropriate authorities to secure the complete CCTV recordings from the restaurant and surrounding premises, preserve the original files, and release the relevant footage to the public without alteration, subject to protecting innocent bystanders. Let Nigerians see what happened. Let the footage establish whether this was the so-called "altercation" being promoted by the Police and the State Government or a coordinated attack by armed political thugs sponsored by the governor, who already stated publicly that anyone who opposes the re-election of Tinubu is an enemy. We have already exposed the plot to remove CCTV recordings by security operatives. The government must explain who took possession of those recordings, where they are presently being kept, and why they have not been made public. The government cannot claim to welcome an investigation while ignoring the most important potential evidence. It is equally disgraceful that the government seeks refuge in its supposed reputation for peaceful elections. A government's self-proclaimed peaceful reputation does not absolve it of responsibility for violence committed within its territory, particularly where its own security officials issued warnings before the attack. The facts are that members of my team and I were violently assaulted, injured, and robbed. Security personnel attached to us were also attacked and disarmed. These are serious acts of criminal violence, not a public relations inconvenience to be dismissed with insults. Furthermore, the despicable press statement issued by @mkdAraoye, the lead organizer of @ikogosimarathon, banning @sowore, all significantly tells of official connivance by the state govt, the lead sponsor of @ikogosimarathon Governor Oyebanji's government must answer the questions surrounding the advance warning, the involvement of security agencies, its relationship with Sola Adenijo, aka Solar, and the whereabouts of the CCTV evidence. The Ekiti State Government cannot investigate itself through press releases, insult the victims into silence, or manufacture an alternative account of an attack that left people injured. We demand an independent, transparent investigation into the roles of the attackers, their sponsors, the Governor’s security personnel, the DSS, and any police and DSS officers implicated in the events of October 30, 2026. The government's denials will be tested against the evidence, including eyewitness accounts, communications records, financial records, and CCTV footage. We will not be intimidated, and I will not allow the Ekiti State Government to turn victims of political violence into suspects simply because we refuse to surrender our constitutional rights. Governor Oyebanji, release the CCTV footage. Disclose your government's relationship with Sola Adenijo, aka Solar. Explain the warning from your Chief Security Officer. Political violence will not stop our struggle for a just, democratic, and liberated Nigeria. #RevolutionNow #Sowore2027

Under PDP government of Atiku and Peter Obi Sowore was attacked severally APC and former PDP bois are fundamentally the same. Sowore cannot unite with them!
Isaac Fayose Reacts to Att@ck on Sowore in Ekiti, Urges Him to Unite With Peter Obi and Other Opposition Figures "Sowore was att@cked today in Ekiti State. Democracy is on holiday in Nigeria. Sowore, hope you have seen our common enemy? But every time, you keep att@cking Peter Obi, who is in the opposition, while leaving those in power. When Obi's convoy was stopped in Benue, you said it can't happen to you." — Isaac Fayose reacts following the reported att@ck on AAC presidential candidate Sowore and others in Ekiti State. He further advised Sowore to unite with fellow opposition figures and stop attacking members of the opposition.
