Oyebode vehemently denied his principal was aware of, or present during the assault by his escort.
“This is contrary to the allegation that the Governor witnessed the alleged brutalisation of Mr Oshituyi.
“We kindly implore Mr Oshituyi to contact the Governor’s Office, Oke Bareke, Ado-Ekiti, with useful information to help the investigations.”
The statement added that the government, in line with its principle of justice and fairness, will be fair in handling the matter.
