Chief of Staff to the Speaker of Osun State House of Assembly, Sunkanmi Obisesan, was on Sunday reportedly attacked by some suspected hoodlums in the Ifofin area of Ilesa.
Speaking after inspecting the scene, Omowaiye said the PDP-led government was behind the incident and called on the Inspector General of Police and heads of other security agencies to arrest the situation before it gets out of control.
Reacting to the allegation, Osun State PDP Caretaker Chairman, Dr Akindele Adekunle, said those behind the attacks must have been hoodlums hired by the APC for the July 16 governorship poll that the party had refused to settle after the poll. Adekunle, in a statement obtained in Osogbo, also said the PDP was not behind the attack, as the party was busy with 100 days activities of the new administration.
“We are shocked by all these rumours of attacks. What we heard is that after the arrest of Asiri Eniba and Rasheed Oko Ilu during the July 16 polls, Mr Oyetola and his team abandoned their recruited gangs. “After the election, we were told nobody cared about the bad boys who were nurtured by them for four years,” he claimed.All rights reserved.
