The Publisher of Taraba Truth and Facts Newspaper and CEO of Rock FM Jalingo, Taraba State, Mr. Ayodele Samuel Oloye, has stated that the Taraba State Government through the ADC to Governor Darius Dickson Ishaku, are after his life.
In a Press Statement issued by him on Sunday, he stated that he has been living in fear because he is constantly trailer by an unknown vehicle.
“On Friday 25th November 2022, after honouring a police invitation at the Taraba State Police Command, Jalingo at about 6.30pm, I observed a black Prado SUV with tinted glasses and covered number plate
followed the vehicle I was in. I drove in to Access Bank Area where I took a detour.
“At about 8pm of that very day, my team and I also observed that the same Toyota Prado SUV was packed closed to Galaxy Hotel Jalingo, where I usually lodge. This forced me to abandon the hotel.
“Again yesterday Saturday 26th November, same Prado SUV was seen around Ishaku Continental Hotel, where I was lodged at about 8pm.
“Since Friday, 25th November 2022, I have been living in fear and my movement is being closely monitored by agents of Taraba State Government for reasons best known to them.” he said.
He also revealed that he believes that,”the state government through the Attorney-General has concluded plans with a Magistrate Court in Jalingo to remand me in prison with stringent bail conditions on Monday.”
According to him, he alleges that the Taraba State Government are after him because of some reports carried out by him which are anti government.
“But the unfortunate thing is that while it appears that the government is trying to unjustly repress me through the legal framework through a petition to the police to investigate some reports published by the Taraba Truth and Facts Newspapers with regards to the privatization of the Mambilla Beverages Company and the College of Nursing Jalingo, its agent are also simultaneously trying to eliminate me, living me no room to be vindicated.
“Some of the publications that are said to have angered the government were published on Taraba Truth and Facts, as well as several notable media organizations in the country, rather than give their side of the story, they have chosen to specifically go after Taraba Truth and Facts and my individual self.” He said.
