Why Aregbe Didn’t Tender Police Report – Counsel

Jan 14th, 2010 | By admin | Category: NEWS

Counsel to the Governorship Candidate of the Action Congress (AC), Chief Ebun Sofunde (SAN) fielding questions from journalists at the Tribunal this morningFacts emerged on Tuesday before the Justice Ali Garba-led Election Petition Retrial Tribunal on why the Action Congress (AC) governorship candidate in Osun State , Engineer Rauf Aregbesola did not tender the controversial police security report of the April 14, 2007 election in the state.

One of the Aregbesola’s lead counsel, Mr Deji Sasegbon (SAN) informed the tribunal that the team of lawyers for the petitioners had made several efforts to ensure that the subpoena dated November 4, 2009, as issued by the tribunal was served on one CSP Ahmed Mohammed who was the signatory to the police report, all to no avail.

He said that rather than delaying the tribunal by looking for the police officer to be served with the subpoena which could take another several days, he deliberately decided with other members of the legal team for Aregbesola to close the case for the petitioner, having being satisfied with the exhibits tendered before the tribunal.

It would be recalled that the issue of the police report of the governorship election in the state, which indicted notable Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders had generated reaction across the length and breadth of the country, as the PDP and the former Inspector-General of Police, Mr Mike Okiro denied the authenticity of the documents, while the leading opposition party in the state, AC, insisted that the report was authentic.
