Some elected council chiefs sacked eight months ago by Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State were allegedly attacked by some thugs on Wednesday.
The Chairman of the Afijio Local Government Area of the state, Samuel Aderemi, was allegedly waylaid and abducted by the thugs who reportedly stormed the council secretariat in the early hours of the day.
He said, “We know where this is coming from. They instigated thugs to attack some of our members in an attempt to prevent us from carrying out our constitutional duties.” ALGON in a statement titled, ‘We resist a government of lawlessness,’ signed by Abass-Alesinloye, said it was aware of the attacks on some of its members at the local government secretariats by the state sponsored thugs.
