Police in Ekiti has arrested the state's
Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Mr.
Kayode Olaosebikan, for questioning
over the beating up of a NYSC member
at a registration unit in Otun Ekiti, Moba
LGA of the state, Vanguard reports.
Olaosebikan (pictured above), who is
also the Chairman, NYSC board in the
state, was seen at the Criminal
Investigation Department, CID,
making his statement.
Olaosebikan allegedly beat up a youth
corps member, Mr. Thompson
Enobong, NYSC number EK/13c/1859,
who is one of the NYSC members
assisting INEC in the just-concluded
registration.
Enobong was subsequently rushed to the
Federal Medical Centre, FMC, Ido Ekiti,
where he is said to be receiving
treatment.
Olaosebikan, however, denied beating
up the corps member, saying he merely
protected him.
Vanguard also gathered that a soldier,
Private Clement John is being
interrogated by the police for disrupting
the exercise in Emure Ekiti.
The soldier, who claimed to be serving in
an Army unit in Borno State, was
reportedly over powered by others at
the registration unit and handed over to
the police. John has equally been
transferred to Ado Ekiti for further
investigation.
Also one Paul Ezekiel was arrested in
Ikere Ward 2 for allegedly threatening
officials of Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC, during the
rush for registration.
Spokesman of the state police command,
Mr. Victor Babayemi, who confirmed the
two cases, said the soldier would be
handed over to the Army formation in
Ondo State to ascertain whether or not
he is a soldier.
Meanwhile, the Director-General, Prince
Adedayo Adeyeye Movement, PAAM, the
political organisation of one of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
gubernatorial aspirants, Bisi Kolawole,
has called on the relevant authorities to
protect NYSC members.
