Fayose now wearing neck collar, arm sling after police teargassed him (PHOTOS)

Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose claimed he has been injured seriously by 'APC policemen' during the APC rally on Tuesday.

Fayose later appeared on AIT, shedding tears over the alleged beating he received from police officers under the orders of the federal government.


He claimed that a police officer beat him up and hit his neck with the butt of a gun. He also said that they were ordered to shoot him on the leg but due to uproar by his supporters they stopped.

Governor Fayose added that when he told the police officer that assaulted him, that he is a governor, the officer replied; "Governor my foot".

The deputy governor was also assaulted, according to Fayose.

Fayose broke into tears, lamenting “I cannot take this anymore” before crawling away from the camera.

Those tears came minutes after he addressed a crowd of PDP supporters, appearing in bandages on his right arm and a neck brace.

“I call on the international; community; Ekiti is under siege,” he had said.

“How can I be Governor of Ekiti State and be treated like this in my own country? My people, I call on all of you: stand and remain standing.

“I will go back to the hospital for a while to rest… I am having a lot of pains, but I prefer to bear these pains because of you. I prefer to bear these pains because of you…”

Fayose was seen wearing a neck brace after receiving treatment from a clinic at the government house.
