Chief Falae’s private car was shot at Ile-Oluji junction on his way to Ile-Ife to join other Afenifere leaders on a courtesy visit to Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife.
Falae who narated his ordeal to journalists on arrival to Ile-Ife yesterday evening explained that he was shot by one of the security operatives attached to bullion van heading towards Akure.
It would be recalled that Falae was recently kidnapped in his Akure home before he was rescued by the security agents.
He explained that his car was shot at Ile-Oluji junction while traveling to Ife for Afenifere’s visit to Ooni og Ife.
He expressed shock over the shooting at his car by the police, saying “sometime ago I was kidnapped, now they want to kill me.
“I was coming from Akure approaching Ilesa when I saw some vehicles ahead of me. There was a bullion van in front. The vehicles ahead of us were overtaking the bullion van and we too followed.
“I nearly passed them when I heard a shot and I heard a bang on my car. We stopped and we saw that they have fired at our car.
“They didn’t stop. We stopped at Erin-Ijesa and complained to the police at the check-point that we were fired at by some police following a bullion van at Ile-Oluji junction.
Chief Falae who expressed fear over continuous attack on him said, “I don’t know why I was kidnapped recently, why I was arrested in 1997 and locked up for two years.”
