Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and new Media, Lere Olayinka, he said “We read in the newspapers that Obua was denied access to his doctor, lawyer and family members and his lawyer claimed on Sunday that Obua was also denied his medications for hypertension and diabetes. Today,we have heard that Obua fainted yesterday and had to be rushed to the hospital for treatment, prompting rumour of his death.”
Adding that “This is not democracy! Democracy is about rule of law and no one should be dumped in detention, without any reason, without any court order for five days as being done to the CSO.”
Speaking on Obua’s health, Fayose said “Even when he was made to address the press today, he looked frail, and was barred from answering questions form journalists, ostensibly for security reasons.”
