Police Affairs Minister Accused of Killing Bola Ige Says: I Regret Not Beating Senator Adeleke

 

It seems this man was a thug and his thuggish character is yet to leave him even now that he is in office:

Minister of Police Affairs Alhaji Jelili Adesiyan has expressed regret for not flogging the first civilian governor of Osun State, Senator Isiaka Adetunji Adeleke, during the People’s Democratic Party’s stakeholders meeting with the officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Osogbo.

Senator Adeleke alleged that Osun State PDP governorship candidate, Iyiola Omisore, Jelili Adesiyan and one retired Customs officer, Mr. Sogo Agboola, had beat him at a function a day before the state PDP governorship primaries, in which he planned to run.

But Minister Adesiyan, who spoke with reporters at the PDP state secretariat, Gbongan Road, Osogbo at the weekend, claimed he did not beat Adeleke. 

He however boasted openly that he regretted he did not beat Senator Adeleke like a baby...

According to him, he refrained from beating Senator Adeleke even when he provoked him because he was once his governor and more so because of his own position as a member of the Federal Executive Council.

He has vowed to fight Adeleke any time they meet.

In his words: “My regret was that I did not beat him as he claimed I did. If I had not been a minister, I would have flogged him like a baby. You know that he could not withstand one blow. You know Adeleke is sick; maybe he would have died that day.

“It was Sogo Agboola that gave Adeleke a dirty slap when he tried to caution him from being violent and he gave Sogo an elbow jerk, which Sogo quickly returned with a dirty resounding slap.

“I thought he was tough but he ran away immediately. He is lying if he says Omisore and I beat him. One upper or lower cut would have landed him in the hospital. You know me. Let me tell you, Adeleke is a liar. After running to his people in the APC, they perfected the story for him. You know they are very good at propaganda. Ta lo nje ode aperin ni waju ode apeyan (who is an elephant hunter in the presence of a hunter who kills human being)? I will one day leave office as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and anytime I leave office, I will fight Adeleke.”

Minister Adesiyan also said nobody can insult Omisore in his presence, saying: “I would rather die there.”
