A Citizen journalist, Mr. Ajibade Adekunle who has been under cover investigating the mystery surrounding the abuse and molestation of female
detainees in police stations across country has cried out for help over a failed attempt to terminate his life.
Adekunle who spoke to SHARPEDGENews from his hideout, said that he narrowly escaped
being killed by some men who descended on him after he left Church but
lost his bag containing his laptop and other documents to his
attackers.
He said: “As I left the Church penultimate Sunday, four men dressed in suit
approached me. Initially, I thought they were also visitors who came
for the anniversary program of my Church, but I later discovered that
they were not when they ask if I was Ajibade Adekunle and also a
Citizen journalist.
“One of them, the tall one, fair in complexion showed me a gun concealed in his black suit and ask me to cooperate
and I said I would cooperate. Just when I was about to be led away,
some church members accosted me and before I could talk, one of them
grabbed my bag and I equally shouted for help and took to my heel.”
According to him, they equally ran towards a white Toyota Avensis car
they came with. He added that his bag they took away contained his laptop, spy digital
pen camera and other documents pertaining to his investigations.
While calling on the Inspector General of Police, Director of DSS and
international community to come his aid; Adekunle said that life is becoming traumatising because of his restrictions to come since the failed attempt on his life.
