Last night, I came across the Mukaila Auxiliary interview with a popular Radio Broadcaster on Facebook.
I could not resist the urge to watch the interview once again and after doing so, I concluded that a lot is wrong in our society.
How could Auxiliary be facing trial and Seye Famojuro is walking free? How could that be?
The interesting part is that, the same Seye Famojuro is being alleged to have been the central figure behind Auxiliary’s predicaments.
I am also worried that the trial of Auxiliary appears to have been perpetually stuck in the courts. What exactly is happening?
If you have not seen to that interview, I urge you, to please do.
Auxiliary raised very serious allegations against the duo of Seye Famojuro and Governor Seyi Makinde.
The kind of allegations he raised against them during the interview should automatically place the two of them in the realm of alleged accomplices in some of the crimes allegedly committed by Mukaila Auxiliary.
Governor Seyi Makinde presently enjoys immunity by virtue of section 308 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and could not be investigated until he leaves office by May 29, 2027. However, Seye Famojuro does not have immunity against investigation and prosecution, if he is found wanting.
I am not aware that Seye Famojuro was at any time investigated on the strength of the allegations levied against him and the Governor.
I am sure that Auxiliary did not understand the weight of his words when he told the journalist who interviewed him that Governor Seyi Makinde sent Seye Famojuro to meet with him at his residence located at Olodo area of Ibadan and that he eventually met the two of them at a popular Hotel in Ibadan thereafter.
According to Mukaila Auxiliary, he was contracted by Governor Seyi Makinde and Seye Famojuro to act as their ” Guard”, ” security” during the campaign period for the 2019 gubernatorial election and thereafter.
As at the time Auxiliary was offered this appointment by Makinde and Seye Famojuro, he just completed a prison term after being found guilty of crimes associated with murder!
His antecedents as a very violent person were notoriously known to everyone in Oyo state.
Mukaila also said that the appointment offered him by Seyi Makinde and Seye Famojuro meant that he and his gang will be protecting the Governor and his followers and in return, Governor Makinde would reciprocate by protecting them.
The question is, what exactly was Mukaila Auxiliary contracted to do for Makinde? As a Gubernatorial candidate of his party at the time, he had access to police escorts. What extra security was Auxiliary and his gang required to provide for him?
After the 2019 election, Governor Makinde appointed Mukaila Auxiliary as the Chairman of the Park Management System, PMS in Oyo state.
During his reign of terror, four innocent people were murdered in Eruwa, Ibarapa East Local Government council on the 21st of May, 2021, during the Local Government election.
Mukaila Auxiliary personally led thugs to Eruwa on the day and the death of the victims were directly and indirectly connected to him.
Not only that, during a campaign activity at Igangan in 2023, Mukaila Auxiliary and his thugs unleashed violence in Igangan and many lives were also lost.
Governor Seyi Makinde and Seye Famojuro were at Igangan on that fateful day.
Auxiliary spoke about the violence in Igangan in his interview.
It will interest you to note that no arrests were made with respect to the violence at Eruwa and Igangan. I guess you now understand what Auxiliary meant when he said Government will be protecting them.
Auxiliary is presently in court, facing charges which includes alleged murder. He was specifically charged for the murder of Rahman who was killed in broad daylight at Iwo Road.
Question is, what happened with the murders that took place at Eruwa and Igangan?
Auxiliary also raised certain curious allegations against Seye Famojuro.
He said his properties were ordered to be seized and Bank accounts frozen by Seye Famojuro.
I had wanted to believe that he made these allegations in error at that time, but, when I saw what happened to Suri, I became agitated.
Only a court of competent jurisdiction has the power to order the seizure of properties and the freezing of Bank accounts linked with alleged crimes.
I am not aware that a court gave such an order with respect to the properties and Bank accounts of Mukaila Auxiliary.
If it is true that the properties of Mukaila Auxiliary were seized and his Bank accounts frozen, who gave such an order? Under what authority and who executed the order?
Having listened to the Mukaila Auxiliary interview once again, I have decided that I need to submit a strong complaint to the State Security Services, DSS.
There are a lot of dirty things happening around the alleged crimes associated with Mukaila Auxiliary, his arrest and perpetual detention.
It’s time to see the truth.
Sola Abegunde.
