Radical Lagos lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana who made this known when he was answering reporter�s questions in Ado-Ekiti on Sunday said he was in possession of the names of the assassins. He said that as soon as the identity of those who sponsored the killing squad were made known they would face criminal prosecution in order to put such primitive and criminal act to an end in the state. Falana, a governorship candidate in the state in the 2003general lections, also called on the Inspector-General of Police (IG), Mr. Tafa Balogun to take action against some police officers who refused to respond to distress call by the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, Oba Rufus Adejugbe when Fasuba was under siege. He explained that the criminal prosecution of the police officers would serve as an example to other police officers in the country. Falana who had paid solidarity visits to Oba Adejugbe and chief Ojo Falegan noted that those who allegedly sponsored the squad wanted to scare people away from the state. Condemning the attitude of the state police command, Falana said: �We shall continue to ensure that there is no breakdown of law and order in the state. But let me assure you that we have the names of the squadin our possession�. He told reporters that investigation so far indicated that the attempt was a fall out of the intra-party wrangling, within the ruling People Democratic Party (PDP). �This means that the PDP are against themselves,� he stated. The Nigerian Conscience Party (NCP) chieftain appealed to the IG to ensure that everything was done to uncover the mystery behind the incident.         Copyright� 2004. All Rights Reserved.
