Osun Decides: Police confirm arrest of Accord Party lawmaker, 146 ‘mercenaries’ [VIDEO]

“He was arrested in Ikire for harbouring suspected mercenaries. He was arrested with about 146 people.

“FBI-IRT arrested him. He is in their custody. He was arrested in the early hours of Saturday,” the police spokesman said.

Footage of the interception showed uniformed police officers interrogating Ibrahim at the residence regarding the presence of the suspected mercenaries.

The lawmaker, when asked in the video, insisted that the individuals gathered were registered voters present to participate in the election.

“They are voters for the election happening today. Some of them are indigenes from outside. I did not hire them. I did not promise anything. Voting is their choice. I’m not their agent,” he said.
