Ashiru to NDLEA: Who did you charge to court if drugs were found in my house?
Senator Oyelola Ashiru’s office has issued a statement to debunk wrong and fallacious impressions created by the NDLEA in its press statement issued on 21 October 2024.
The NDLEA alleged that Senator Ashiru’s house in Ilorin, Kwara State, was raided, and illicit drugs were found. This accusation comes on the heels of Senator Ashiru’s declaration on the senate floor that the NDLEA is corrupt.
We find it preposterous and mere fishing for justification that NDLEA had to wait for the senator’s observation on the floor the Senate before making its spurious allegations.
As a matter of fact, Senator Ashiru never employed any aide bearing Ibrahim Mohammed or Mohammd Yahaya as bandied by NDLEA.
The agency claimed that its operatives visited the senator’s Ilorin house and found nothing incriminating. The entire house was searched, and nothing incriminating was found. If any drugs were found or certain persons mentioned by the NDLEA, it is rational to ask at which court of law were the culprits charged?
It is also important to state that Senator Ashiru has not sent any aide to the NDLEA to influence the dropping of drug allegations against anyone known as Tosin Odepidian. Indeed, all the names mentioned by the agency are strange, and none works directly or indirectly with Senator Ashiru.
The NDLEA has the duty to take anyone suspected of drug dealing to court rather than name-calling and engaging in media trial.
This clarification is necessary to set the record straight and address the misleading information circulated by the NDLEA.
It is an open secret that many criminals, cultists, armed robbers and drug addicts find their way back into business after gratifying and bribing law enforcement officers.
The NDLEA ought to search its house and fish out bad eggs rather than seek cheap publicity!
Senator Ashiru remains committed to serving the people of Kwara South and upholding the truth at all times in the search for strict professionalism among our law enforcement agencies.
