Press Release of Ondo (State) Youth for Good Governance on the invitation of Asiwaju Adekanmbi Femi by the Nigeria Police Force.
The Nigeria Police Force in recent time has been used to intimidate our friend Asiwaju Adekanmbi, he is a law abiding citizen of this State and Nigeria at large. He has never for once been found guilty of any criminal or fraudulent act by any institution both within the Country and outside the country.
It all started in December 2017 when our friend is been molested by the NPF
"He had concluded plans to inaugurate a project at Mapo Hall roundabout, Owo, in December 2017 as part of the annual thanksgiving that he usually organise at the end of the year.he usually hold an annual special thanksgiving service when choristers and clerics from different Christian denominations would be invited to lead his people in praising God. While the programme was ongoing, some police officers invaded the premises of the event on the orders of the state government and arrested Hon.Femi Adekanmbi, because some people in government felt threatened by his popularity and had concluded that he wanted to use the project to score cheap political points."
However, his intentions were clear; all he was doing was to beautify his town. It’s quite unfortunate that some people read political meanings to it to the detriment of the impact the project would have on the town.
The allegations against him?
When the police took him to Akure, it became a different case entirely. They brought out a petition submitted over years ago against him as the reason for his arrest. We all felt terribly bad about the harassment. He however thank God for the good people of Owo in particular and Ondo State in general who stood by him and condemned the intimidation and harassment. He was later released based on various interventions, he nevertheless accept the witch-hunting and persecution; it is part of the game and it makes him stronger.
Asiwaju Adekanmbi Femi served as a Commissioner for Culture and Tourism under the administration of Dr. Olusegun Mimiko for few months, of which every of his activities was well supervised and approved by the State Governor.
Several people served longer months under the administration of Mimiko and none of them has never been invited by the NPF then why intimidating our friend.
On the 2nd of July 2019 another invitation letter was issued to invite Femi Adekanmbi to kindly come to the Criminal investigation department of the Nigeria Police Force due to an investigation ongoing on a case of fraud and financial mismanagement reported to the commissioner of police by someone undisclosed.
We are making our position clear, that "we the OYGG are solidly behind our friend Asiwaju Adekanmbi Femi and we are saying that the Nigeria Police Force and the government of Ondo State under the leadership of Akeredolu Rotimi SAN, should thread softly with our friend as his antecedent has showed him as a gentle man.
The Ondo State Youth for Good Governance is calling on the Inspector General of Police to intervene into this intimidating and molesting case of our dear Friend Asiwaju Adekanmbi Femi.
