Nine Ekiti house of assembly lawmakers flee homes, resurface in Ibadan - if you're innocent why are you running away from your official duty - Police tells runaway lawmakers.

• In a dusk to dawn movement from Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti state, to the city of Ibadan in Oyo state, nine lawmakers of the Ekiti state house of assembly in the early hours of Wednesday stormed Iyaganku press centre of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) where they addressed newsmen on their plight in the hands of the security agents trailing them for arrest.
  Led by their Deputy Speaker, Adewumi Olusegun, the lawmakers who apparently fled their state for refuge, appeared to be on transit as they hurriedly addressed reporters and drove to another unknown destination, which inner room  sources said was in response to the latest invasion of the state by one CSP Mohammed Abubakar of the Force CID, Abuja.
  Addressing journalists on behalf of his colleagues, the Chairman, House Committee on Information, Gboyega Aribisogan assisted by Dr. Omotoso Samuel and the chief whip, Akinniyi Sunday, alleged that there were moves to infiltrate their ranks through monetary inducement amounting to one million dollars to impeach the state governor, Peter Ayodele Fayose.
  In their prepared speech, they unequivocally restated their loyalty to Fayose as they maintained that, “no amount of intimidation, arrest, detention, harassment and monetary
   inducement will make us dance to the tune of those whose only interest is to truncate the Fayose-led government and return to power through the backdoor.
  “They lost election in June, 2014 and they lost four other elections in 2015. They should stop trying to get to power through the backdoor. They should stop this harassment, intimidation and use of federal power to oppress innocent Nigerians,” they declared.
  Sensitizing Nigerians on the dangers that the continuous victimization and invasion of Ekiti state by security agents portend for the nation’s democracy, the lawmakers further alleged that their lives  and existence is now being threatened by agents of the Federal Government “and we no longer feel safe in our various homes in Ekiti state.
