The entire members of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria, Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government and the Southwest Zone 2 Command have dissociated themselves from the recent hasty and unguarded, unreasonable and unauthorized statements credited to one Alhaji Adeyemi Ayetoto in the media as regards the cold blooded murder of the frontline politician, Otunba Dipo Dina, Ota, Ogun State.
Alhaji Ayetoto, who is one of the executive members of the group in Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area is not competent to speak to the media on the incident relating to the matter at stake and neither was the murder of Otunba Dina discussed at any of the group’s executive council meeting.
Members of the Vigilante are of the view that for Alhaji Ayetoto to have gone out of the laid down procedure to speak on a volatile issue such as the murder of the late Gubernatorial candidate of the Action Congress without authorization from the executive council of the group, he(Ayetoto) must have been motivated to thwart the Nigeria Police Force investigation process.
In addition, his claim about the Living Faith World Outreach(Winners Chapel),Cannan Land, Ota, as a notorious hide out of criminals and his description of Police as insensitive are unfounded and aimed at blackmailing the Winners Chapel and the Police for material gain.
The Winners Chapel ,as a matter of fact has been supporting community policing morally with the provision of vehicles for patrol in Ado-Odo/Ota L.G Area of Ogun State by members of the group, while the Area Commander, the DPO and all the policemen in the Command have always been responsive to security needs by supporting the Vigilante members in community policing.
The group states unequivocally that the issue of investigations into murder cases and in particular the present one is solely that of the Nigerian Police Force. Vigilante Group of Nigeria can only give or offer supportive evidence if there is any through the appropriate channel and not on the pages of newspapers so as not to jeopardize investigations.
SIGNED: Alhaji Abdulahi Toye
Zonal Commander
Southwest Zone 2
