Nationnewslead report that The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned the attack on the members of the party and the disruption of their meeting by the hoodlums loyal to the Peoples Democratic Party PDP in Obokun yesterday.
It was gathered that the PDP thugs who were shouting the name of the house of assembly candidate for that constituency made a forceful entry into the meeting of the Obokun chapter of the party yesterday, disrupting the meeting and wounding some of the APC members.
An eye witness disclosed that the PDP thugs who were heavily drunk resorted to the beating of all the APC members in sight and stripped them of their mobile hand phones.
Peace was said to have fled the ancient town during the period that the crisis lasted as there was a breakdown of law and order during the melee at the APC Secretariat on Temidire Street, along Osogbo Road.
Mothers were running helter-skelter to have the possession of their children and wards during the period that the PDP thugs struck.
The Acting State Chairman of the APC, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, in a statement issued by the party’s Director of Media and Information, Chief Kola Olabisi, today in Osogbo, stated that the attack on the APC members was wicked, barbaric and against the tenet of genuine democracy.
Lawal tasked the state commissioner of police to call the violent members and supporters of the PDP to order in the interest of peace and tranquility in the state.
He observed that it was pathetic that the embattled Governor Adeleke has failed woefully in his statutory responsibility of protection of the lives and property of the people of the state.
Lawal enjoined the police to investigate the unsavoury development with a view to arresting, investigating and prosecuting the culprits regardless of their socio-political standing in the society.
Below is the list of the of the PDP political thugs who descended on the weekly meeting of the APC members and attacked them:
Ahmed Fagbamila, Toso Idowu, Adeyemi Oluyole, Ademola Sajuyigbe, Oginni Sunday, Mubarak Olaifa, Iwaloye Sadiat a.k.a (Ikorodu), Famakinwa Sarafadeen, Muheeb Olowoseputu and Demola Alagbon.
Members of our party caught up in the disturbance include the APC chairman in the constituency, Mr Gbenga Fagbamila and Mr. Adegoke Alare who were beaten to stupor while Alare’s phone was allegedly stolen by one Olowoseputu during the attack that took place around 6:00pm. Continue Reading
