The former First Lady in Oyo State whose husband recently died of COVID-19, Mrs Florence Ajimobi has allegedly locked out the Deputy Governor of Oyo State, Rauf Olaniyan from attending the 8th Day Fidau prayers of late Senator Abiola Ajimobi held at Oluyole Estates, Ibadan on Sunday.
The reasons for locking out the deputy Governor was not immediately known.
The family had announced the fidau prayer as a private programme, urging the public to watch through virtual channels including Zoom, YouTube and Facebook.
Olaniyan arrived the residence at about 11:20 am in a convoy of five vehicles. On getting to the gate of the road leading to Ajimobi’s residence, the convoy was stopped by policemen and members of other security agencies manning the gate. They insisted that only the deputy governor’s vehicle could be allowed into the street to join the prayer.
The deputy governor’s security details initially rebuffed the idea but when their argument was degenerating, a senior policeman intervened and they eventually agreed that only the deputy governor’s vehicle should go in.
But on getting to Ajimobi’s house, the gate was also locked. The deputy governor’s aides introduced their principal but they were told that the gate had been locked, and that Mrs Ajimobi was in possession of the key. Olaniyan waited, believing that the issue would be sorted in no time.
