The Source reports that some thugs numbering over 30, allegedly, led by the duo of Ekeakita and Aloni had on Friday June 20,2025 invaded the Council Secretariat, brutalized the Chairman, and made away with his personal effects and vital official documents after forcing him to sign a resignation letter which they came with.
A statement issued by the Command’s spokesperson, Grace Irenge-Koko, accused the wanted twosome of masterminding the attack on the Chairman.
Consequently, the State Commissioner of Police, CP Olugbenga Adepoju, advised the suspects to report themselves immediately to the State Police headquarters or face dare consequences.
A statement from the Command on Friday, however, informed that the wanted persons presented themselves to the Police on Thursday July 10 ,2025, at about 3pm.

They were later handed over to the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the State Criminal Investigations Department, SCID for further investigation, the Police spokesperson added.
