The Ekiti Justice Group (EJG) has accused the State government of plotting the arrest of Mrs Aina Obafemi, mother of the 15 year-old student of Christ Girls Secondary School, Ado Ekiti, who allegedly accused former member of the Ekiti state House of Assembly, Dr Samuel Omotoso of sexual harassment, over the video exonerating the former lawmaker.
In the video which has gone viral on social media, the 47-year-old widow had said that she had not seen her daughter since last month and that the girl was being used to settle political scores against the wish of her family.
Mrs Obafemi went further to call on the Principal of Christ Girl’s School, Ado Ekiti, Mrs Esan Oluremi Agbaje and the State Attorney General, Mr Wale Fapohunda, to release her daughter to her.
She said the State Government, especially and its lawyer (the Attorney General, Mr Wale Fapounda) can not love her daughter more than her, hence the government should release her daughter.
In a statement on Tuesday, EJG Director of Research and Communications, Olu Adeleye, said it was informed that people suspected to be officials of the State Government were already calling Mrs Obafemi, inviting her to a “meeting.”
The group said it also heard it on good authority that there were plots to “keep the woman away from the public.”
The EJG said Ekiti state government must hand over the girl to her mother, while allowing a neutral body to investigate the allegation of sexual harassment that she made against the former lawmaker.
It said if the interest of the government was solely the protection of the girl, there was no reason she should have been kept away from her mother for over one month as said by the mother.
