Sagir Captain

Sagir Koli, the Nigerian Army Captain, who exposed the planning and rigging of the 2014 governorship election in Ekiti State by top government officials and the military, has given details how his younger brother was arrested and tortured at a military facility in Ibadan Oyo state after he fled the country.
In a video made available to PREMIUM TIMES on Monday, Mr. Koli said 15-year-old Adamu Koli who lived with him before his escape, was arrested in his house in Akure, Ondo state where he was serving.

“He was staying with me and was attending Army Children School in the Barracks, they went for him after they learnt I have left.
“When he was released, he told the family that he was chained, handcuffed and starved of food. According to him he was fed once, or twice at times often with the kind of food he was not used to,” he said.
Captain Koli also revealed that as a result of what he went through, the young Koli became sick.
The video leaked by Captain Koli revealed how some Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, chieftains connived with security agencies to rig the gubernatorial election in Ekiti State.
At the meeting, as evidenced by the recording, prominent officials of the PDP were heard discussing strategies for rigging the 2014 Ekiti governorship election, a poll in which the party eventually won by a landslide.
But some of the actors, including Musiliu Obanikoro, a former Defence Minister, and Ayo Fayose, who defeated the incumbent governor, denied being a party to the plot to rig the election and questioned the authenticity of the recording.
Despite their denials, the Minister of Police Affairs, Jelili Adesiyan, who also attended the meeting, confirmed Sunday that the tape was authentic.
He however disagreed with the context of the discussion, saying the meeting was never about plans to rig the Ekiti State election.
