The state government, however, through the Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to the governor, Mr. Segun Ajiboye, who denied the allegation described the allegation as not only false but unfounded.
Ajiboye described those raising the alarm as “attention seekers” and said “those behind this unfounded allegation are attention seekers, who wanted to be heard by their paymasters.
“Akeredolu and ruling APC are busy and focused on the primary assignment of moving the state forward through unprecedented development without distraction from any quarters.”
But the Abraham group maintained that some suspected hoodlums have been trailing the Director General(DG) of the group, Kunle Eko-Davies.
The group maintained in a statement that ” it has become necessary for us to let the public and the Security Agencies know the dangerous plans by agents of the state government which is capable of igniting violence in the state.

The group accused some elements within the present administration in the state and the ruling APC of hiring some miscreants to monitor the movement of SASG leaders with the sinister motive of eliminating them.
The statement reads” We suspect, this might not be unconnected with the level of the litigation against Governor Akeredolu over the outcome of the 2016 APC Primary, the preliminaries of the subsisting case of the flawed primary is in progress.
“Their thinking, we suspect, is that once some of our members have been eliminated, our group will be disorganised and the case in court will be abandoned abruptly.
“We took the civilized approach of fighting our cause in the law court.
We have allowed peace to reign in the state. Any attempt by the present government being engaged in the law court to attack our members will only spell doom for the state and the present democracy.
“It is in this connection that we are appealing to all well-meaning people in the state and the security agencies to caution those behind the cruelty, they should embrace the rule of law and not to set the State on fire, the end of which no one can predict.
“We are also appealing to security agencies within and outside the State including the Inspector General of Police (IGP), the State Commissioner of Police and the Director of State Security Services(DSS) to use their security networks to ensure that the leaders and supporters of OASG are allowed to move freely to pursue their lawful businesses within and outside the State without molestation.”
