The senator representing Ondo South senatorial district, Senator Nicholas Tofowomo, has denied hypnotising some youths with juju for the purpose of getting re-elected to the Senate.
A lawyer, Akin Sowore, had in a petition to the Police called for the arrest and prosecution of Senator Tofowomo over alleged ritual dealings with some constituents.
Sowore had alleged that Senator Tofowomo invited the youths for an empowerment programme but instead gave them some concussions to drink after which he gave them N200, 000 each.
But Senator Tofowomo who denied the allegations said politicians and detractors were at work ahead of the 2023 general elections.
He said the petition was written for political gains as well as being untrue, and falsely concocted to dent his image.
Tofowomo who spoke through his media aide, Akinrinlola Olumide, said he never held any meeting where people were lured to take oaths or swear with car radiator water to prove loyalty to him.
According to him, “We understand there is hunger in Nigeria but we never knew that the purported Lawyer who cannot write simple and correct English could descend this low because of peanuts.
“The public should know that the petition writer is a card-carrying member of the ruling APC, and his ultimate goal is to bring down Senator Tofowomo for refusing to assist him to pay his debt after going bankrupt at the hands of a money lender in Akure.
“Senator Tofowomo is a man that carries God’s grace and a good Christian who cannot suffer disgrace. His detractors have tried many times to bring him down via social media by using their concubines and proxies but they have failed repeatedly because whoever God promotes, nobody can demote.
“All the allegations are unfounded and without factual foundations. The good people of Ondo State should disregard it.” (The Nation)
