These are the leads we provided to the Nigeria Police Force @policeng concerning individuals allegedly involved in the gruesome assassination attempt against me and members of my team exactly 14 days ago, on October 30, 2026, at Tawakalitu Restaurant in the Dalimore area of Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State.
Fourteen days later, the police, led by @TunjiDisu1 , have yet to arrest any of the principal suspects we identified.
Instead, the police raided other locations, rounded up individuals we believe had nothing to do with the attack, and paraded them before a Chief Magistrate Court in Ado-Ekiti, where they were granted bail the same day.
