PDP Chairman, Omoba Niyi Aborishade Shot Dead In Lagos

Omoba Niyi Aborishade

Omoba Niyi Aborishade, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain and Chairman of the party in Apapa local government area  has been killed.

According to PoliticsNGR the popular politician was killed yesterday, Saturday 21st of July, 2018, around Epe, on his way back from a reconciliation meeting organized by Lagos State PDP party leaders.

The body of the deceased has been deposited at the mortuary as police investigation intensifies to arrest his killers.

However the motive behind the murder can not be ascertained at the time of putting this report together, as we await further briefing from the Police.

In a swift response to the incident the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Mr. Imohimi Edgal, ordered the arrest of all those with hands in the crime.

See the Press Release signed by the state Police Public Relations Officer, CSP, Chike Oti, where the CP asked the PDP leaders in Lagos State to call their members to order:

CALL YOUR MEMBERS TO ORDER----CP LAGOS WARNS PDP LEADERSHIP IN THE STATE.

What supposed to be a peaceful political meeting of Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) members, in Lagos state, regrettably ended in unnecessary bloodletting.

The incident took place on Saturday, July 21, 2018, at about 1800hrs, during Lagos State PDP Visitation meeting at Igbosuku village, Eti-Osa LGA, attended by Lagos State and Local Government PDP Chairmen.

However, towards the end of the meeting, fracas broke out between contending factions of the party; one faction for the State Chairman, Hon. Moshood Adegoke Sabadon and the other for the Eti-Osa LG Chapter Chairman, Engr Kehinde Fasasi.

In the melee, one Hon. Borishade Adeniyi, the Apapa LG PDP Chapter Chairman, recognised also as the Doyen of PDP LG Chapter Chairmen in Lagos State, was allegedly shot and injured on the leg.

He was rushed to First Consultant Hospital, Obalende, Lagos, where he was treated but eventually died. Corpse of the deceased is deposited in the hospital mortuary. Two other persons allegedly injured during the clash, are also receiving treatment in a hospital in Ajah.

In a swift reaction, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Imohimi Edgal, directed the Area Commander in-charge of Area 'J' Elemoro, to ensure the arrests of all those with hands in the crime. Pursuant to the directive, five (5) of the principal suspects had been arrested; viz:
1. Engr Kehinde Fasasi, chapter chairman, Eti-Osa LG,
2. Hon. Rotimi Kujore, PDP chapter chairman, Lagos Island LG
3. Alhaji Fatai Adele, PDP chapter chairman, Mushin LG,
4. Mr. Ismail Abiola, PDP chapter chairman, Amuwo Odofin LG and
5. Dr. Amos Alabi Fawole, PDP chapter chairman, Surulere LG. ..

The five suspects have been transferred to SCIID, Panti, for further investigation.

The CP is completely disappointed with PDP Leadership in the state for their penchant for violence. It will be recalled that on the 12/07/2018, two male thugs, Wale Oye, 37 and Ganiyu Ajiboluwa, 47, were arrested at Festac Extention by Apple Junction, Amuwo Odofin with two pump action rifles given to them by their hirer, one Hon. Dipo Olorunrinu, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) in Lagos State House of Assembly, to escort him to a political rally. Meanwhile, Hon. Dipo Olorunrinu is warned to report at the Police Command Headquarters, Ikeja, on Monday, at 0900hrs for the continuation of his case.

He is reminded that he is only on administrative bail and not acquittal.

CP warns that no political party will be allowed to truncate the peace in the state. He therefore calls on all political parties to disarm their members as nobody or group would be allowed to threaten anybody with firearms.

CSP Chike Oti,
Police Public Relations Officer,
Lagos State.

Very Sad! May the soul of the deceased rest in peace.
