Rep Tunji Akinosi Denies Assaulting Cop, Says He Only Stepped In To ‘Protect’ Ogun Deputy Gov

Hon Tunji Akinosi, who represents Ado-Odo Ota Federal Constituency,  Ogun state in  the House of Representatives , has  given his own account of what happened during the 2023 Iganmode Day on Saturday.

Akinosi submitted that  a  viral  video  of him assaulting a policeman was abridged, and did not represent what actually happened during the event.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Akinosi, in a statement he issued on Tuesday,  claimed he only  tried to keep the  cop in question in check after  disrespecting the  Deputy Governor  of Ogun state, Naimat Salako,

‘The disrespectful policeman was attached to Senator Yayi and not the Deputy Governor.

Setting the record straight, Akinosi only pushed the so-called overzealous officer, one M. Yusuf who was rude and displayed a high sense of irresponsibility at the event.

Officer M. Yusuf, who allegedly doubles as the commander of Senator Solomon Adeola aka Yayi’s security team, actually disrespected the Deputy Governor when he disrespectfully asked who was the Deputy Governor.

The officer’s disrespectful conduct angered young people at the event. The unruly officer had earlier assaulted the Deputy Governor’s aide, Kola Salako, and others who were part of the Deputy Governor’s entourage all in the name of doing his job.

Akinosi’s interaction with the officer was meant to be a reconciliatory effort but the officer’s rudeness and derogatory statement and threat to deal with him when he was trying to call the policeman to order. That was exactly what transpired.

The alleged assault is just another attempt to change the narrative and bring Akinosi to disrepute ahead of the next political game in Ogun state that’s already playing out behind the scenes.

It’s becoming pretty alarming how all manners of unknown platforms and people claiming to be journalists put out unverified news items just to drag people’s reputations in the mud.

Akinosi is a responsible member of the House of Representatives who is working hard to fulfill his campaign promises to thousands of his constituents and he shall not be distracted’ the statement said-Team@orientactualmags.com
