Mr. Lere Olayinka, an aide of the ousted governor of Ekiti State, Segun Oni, was on Tuesday remanded in police custody on the orders of Chief Magistrate Adegboye Richard of the Ekiti Magistrate Court sitting in Ado-Ekiti.
Olayinka was arraigned on a four-count charge of sponsoring a seditious publication against the Ekiti State governor; engaging in conducts likely to cause a breach of the peace; promoting feelings of ill will and hostility between teachers and government of Ekiti and unlawfully inciting teachers against Teachers Development Needs Assessment (TDNA).
He pleaded “not guilty” to all the charges. The dailies yesterday reported the arrest of Olayinka by men of the Nigeria Police at Ola-Oluwa Muslim Grammar School, Ado-Ekiti, while attempting to “disrupt the TDNA which was then going on.” He was said to have led a group of suspected thugs to harass teachers who were writing the test by throwing stones at them in the exam hall.
