APC has imposed an indefinite suspension on Mr Awolumate over the incident while many people in the state have called for his prosecution.
ward chairman for Arigidi/Iye, Akoko North West of Ondo State, Olumide Awolumate, says he beat up the state commissioner for women affairs, Bunmi Osadahun, in self-defence.
The chairman of the party in Ondo, Ade Adetimehin, on receipt of the suspension letter, said a disciplinary committee would be set up to ensure that Mr Awolumate is appropriately punished, to serve as deterrent to other leaders and members of the party. He said the confrontation resulted in the commissioner and her son attacking him, and he was forced to defend himself.
“I raised this in the presence of all the leaders of the party, and the commissioner objected to this, saying she was the head of that committee at the state level. But I objected my non-inclusion in the sharing of the palliative, as I was not invited.
