No need for Twitter trial, file case of attack against MC Oluomo if you have evidence – Police PRO
Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has called on anyone with evidence against Musiliu Akinsanya, alias MC Oluomo, chairman of the Lagos State Parks and Garages Association, to file a case of attack.
Adejobi made this known via his Twitter handle on Tuesday morning in response to a Twitter conversation on MC Oluomo’s remarks during the March 18 elections.
A Twitter user, AjammaS, chastised Adejobi for failing to protect voters during the election after he asked people to take MC Oluomo’s remark about Igbo in a viral video as a joke and assured them of safety during the election.
AjammaS said, “Sir you are also guilty, if I may say. This is what you said in the TV interview, and I quote. ‘MC Oluomo threat is a joke, let’s take it as a joke until he perfect the threat. I urge everyone to go out & cast their votes’.
“Now Nigerians heeded to your calls & went out to cast their votes and unfortunately you failed to protect them as you promised. They were attacked by MC Oluomo & his boys, some were murdered, brutalized, blinded, some are currently receiving treatment in different hospitals.”
Adejobi responded by asking the tweep to file an attack case against Oluomo if he had evidence of attacks against him, adding that Oluomo lacked immunity.
He said, “You can take the case of attack up with MC if you have a case or evidence of attacks against him. Many people and lawyers, even the Deputy Gov of Lagos, have said it severally. He has no immunity, so if you have a case of attack against him, take it up.
“There is no need to pass judgement or do trial on Twitter. Very simple. Many of you just follow others to raise this issue on Twitter.”
