Ekiti nude protesters paid $20 each

Fresh facts have emerged that the nude protesters during the Ekiti Governorship rerun fiasco were alleged to have been paid ₦2,000 each, an equivalent of $20 to stage their protest

According to a reliable source, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the Action Congress, AC, Governorship Candidate allegedly acted in connivance with his wife and other AC operatives in Ekiti State to “engineer the protests against alleged election rigging, were the ₦2,000 was decided as the fee for the protesting women.”

But AC sources are denying the allegation. They are insisting that the protests were not choreographed but “came as a rejection of cheating.”

Pointblanknews.com gathered that the Nigerian government may have concluded arrangements to charge the sponsors of the protest march with “offer of bribery in order to encourage offensive graphic images and outright pornography.”

If the government acts on the alleged investigation, it would be a new twist to the long-playing governorship saga in Ekiti State.

Some sources told pointblanknews.com’s reporter in Ado-Ekiti that some citizens of Ado-Ekiti felt strongly violated by the naked women on the street.

Some of those who answered the enquiries from our reporter alleged that “the wife of Dr. Fayemi was in the crowd, but did not remove her cloth, nor did she parade her breast, Fayemi and his lieutenants have mothers who did not participate in the so-called protest march they decided to take undue advantage of our poor women and defiled our land.”

The source insisted on anonymity claiming that “AC’s contract killers are, still on the prowl” and said that it was the “letter of concern and call to action by elders of Ado-Ekiti that is leading to investigation of Dr. Fayemi’s AC.”

The source blamed internet news services for being gullible and endorsing the agenda of Dr. Fayemi. “We are not fooled by his human rights’ razz-matazz.” “Fayemi’s claim to being a human rights’ crusader by offering $20 bribe and open endorsement of pornography is a lasting dent.”
