Ijegun Pipeline Explosion: How Many People Has Been Arrested So Far By The Police? - Prince Adedipe Dauda Ewenla

The proprietor of Adedas foundation, and house of assembly aspirant of People's Democratic Party PDP in the last election, Honorable Prince Adedipe Dauda Ewenla has questioned the police on the numbers of people arrested since the incident of pipeline explosion in Ijegun Lagos State.

According to him;
"I am yet to see any arrest made by our Nigeria police since last week that some unscrpolous vandals caused havoc that claimed many innocent  lives and properties at Ijegun. Where are you Nigeria Police, Where are you men of  SARS?. Nobody was arrested getting to 10 days now, but if this calamity fall during election time or campaign, you will see our police running after the members of opposition parties as the sponsors of the said vandalisation. That was exact punishment metted on me when I was running for the ticket of house of assembly in Alimsho constituency 01 Lagos State, I was arrested and detained for 37 days just because I didn't accept their offers and to join their party in Lagos (A P C), I was suffered and dehumanised  for the offence  I know nothing about."

"Up till now, I could not figure why I was named as the sponsor and culprit of Abule-Egba inferno, I was not Nigeria civil defence / Nigeria Army or private security officer posted to be monitored the pipeline, help me ask them wether it has become an offence to be a bona-fide member of the opposition party in Lagos?."

He said the Nigerian police refused to safe lifes and properties, their major primary duty of governance but shifted the blame on innocent Nigerians. "My wife was detained including many of my friends and families, all because i am a strong  PDP member. and aspirant then"

"In Nigeria, we have 91 political parties, and every good citizen has right to join any party  of his choice, but in Lagos reverse is the case,  is either they punish you  or you dance to their  tune."

"If you refused to dance to their tune and you are more popular than their candidate  you will meet yourself in police’s  custody for doing nothing. You would be detained till after election or four days to the election, so that you would not able to campaign. He Added."
