Attack on Sanwo-Olu’s Convoy Politically-Motivated – Folarin

The 2023 governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and lawmaker representing Oyo Central Senatorial District, Senator Teslim Folarin has strongly condemned the attack on Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s convoy by hoodlums.

Reports say the bus conveying the press crew of Lagos State Governor’s Office on Sunday was attacked by hoodlums between Ebute-Ero and Adeniji, Iga-Iduganran axis on Lagos Island, leaving no fewer than two journalists wounded. 

The press crew bus joined other vehicles conveying dignitaries, including 2023 APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu; Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu; Kano State, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje; and others, who had just left the palace of Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwanu Akiolu.

Senator Folarin, in a statement made available to journalists on Sunday evening, described the attack as politically-motivated.

“The attack on the press crew of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s convoy is utterly condemnable. It’s a politically motivated and criminal act.”

“I urge the law enforcement agencies to fish out the perpetrators and bring them to book as it will serve as a deterrent to others”. Senator Folarin.
