The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, has criticised the Ekiti State Police Command for describing the attack on him and his associates in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State as merely an altercation.
Sowore, who sustained injuries during the incident, accused the Command of downplaying the severity of the violence despite the visit of the state Commissioner of Police, Falade Michael, to the scene.
In a post on his X handle on Friday, Sowore insisted that he and his associates were attacked, rejecting the police account that he sustained a minor injury during an altercation with some individuals at a restaurant.
He alleged that the Police commissioner personally visited the scene and saw the injuries sustained by those involved but that the command subsequently issued a statement that trivialised the incident.
