Isese: I Have A Tape Proving Kwara CP Hates Tani Olohun, Sowore Alleges
The publisher of Saharareporters and prominent human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, has said that he has an audio clip in which the Kwara State Commissioner of Police, Ebunoluwa Adelesi, made hateful comments about Isese activist, Adegbola Abdulazeez aka Tani Olorun.
“The Kwara State police commissioner expressed her hatred for Tani Olohu in a cell phone conversation that I now have,” the former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress said on Tuesday.
Adegbola is on trial for allegedly defaming traditional and religious authorities in Kwara State.
“I am a staunch believer of the freedom of expression, freedom of thoughts, and the freedom of worship.
“I have followed what was done to Tani Olohun, and I have concluded that he was kidnapped and taken across state lines to appear before a kangaroo court.
“The commissioner of police is in bed with those who didn’t want him (Tani Olohun) to fully express himself, and there are plans to prevent the Isese worshippers from carrying out their activities in Kwara State.
“I believe what they did is wrong, and they have no right to charge him for the crimes they claimed he committed.”
Sowore also alleged that Adelesi had a personal vendetta against Tani Olohun.
‘He (Tani Olohun) should not have been arrested and charged before a magistrate court who again adjourned the case for 50 days over a bailable offence, that’s if he even committed any offence, and he did not.
“Tani Olohun was just expressing himself, if what he was doing was deemed wrong, he would have been penalised by Facebook where he shared these contents.
“Facebook has community rules, if he broke them, he would have been penalised but he wasn’t.
“They (Muslim clerics) capitalised on their relationship with the Kwara state commissioner of police, who had expressed her hatred for this particular person (Tani Olohun) in a cell phone conversation that I now have.
“They ganged up against him and abducted him from across state line with what they claim was a warrant of arrest from an Upper Area Court.
“An Upper Area Court doesn’t have jurisdiction across state lines. I’m not a lawyer but I know these things because I get frequently arrested by the government.
