Senator Reacts To NDLEA Claim Of Finding Illicit Drugs In His House

Senator Oyelola Ashiru’s office has called the allegations made by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) “wrong and fallacious,” claiming he was found in possession of illicit drugs.

The NDLEA stated that Senator Ashiru’s residence in Ilorin, Kwara State, was raided and illicit drugs were discovered.

These allegations surfaced after Senator Ashiru publicly criticized the NDLEA for corruption during a Senate session. In response, a statement issued by his Legislative Aide, Olaitan Adeyanju, declared the allegations to be false.

“We find it preposterous and mere fishing for justification that NDLEA had to wait for the senator’s observation on the floor of the Senate before making its spurious allegations.

“As a matter of fact, Senator Ashiru never employed any aid bearing Ibrahim  Mohammed and Mohammed Yahaya as bandied by NDLEA.

“The agency claimed that it operatives visited the senator’s Ilorin house and found nothing incriminating. The entire house was searched, and nothing incriminating was found. If any drugs were found on certain persons mentioned by the NDLEA, it is rational to ask at which court of law were the culprits charged?

“It is also important to state that Senator Ashiru has not sent any aide to the NDLEA to influence the dropping of drug allegations against anyone known as Tosin Odepidian. Indeed, all the names mentioned by the agency are strange, and none works directly or indirectly with Senator Ashiru.

“The NDLEA has the duty to take anyone suspected of drug dealing to court rather than name-calling and engaging in media trial.

“This clarification aims to set the record straight and address the misleading information circulated by the NDLEA.

“It is an open secret that many criminals, cultists, armed robbers and drug addicts find their way back into business after gratifying law enforcement officers. The NDLEA ought to search its house and fish out bad eggs rather than seeking cheap publicity!

“Senator Ashiru remains committed to serving the people of Kwara South and upholding the truth at all times in the search for strict professionalism among our law enforcement agencies.”
