Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned the attack on the convoy of the First Lady of the state, Mrs Kafayat Oyetola, by some suspected political thugs.

The State Chairman of the party, Prince Gboyega Famodun made the party’s stance known in a statement issued by his Media Adviser, Chief Kola Olabisi

Prince Famodun who believed the attack was carried out by thugs working for PDP described it as primitive, barbaric, shameful, dangerous and wicked.

It would be recalled that some suspected political thugs attacked the convoy of Mrs Oyetola on Friday at Owode in Edeland, where they threw stones at the convoy and used other dangerous weapons to effect the attack.

Prince Famodun said it was alarming that some disgruntled politicians could descend so low to the extent of needlessly injecting violence into politics.

Prince Famodun wondered why the hitherto peaceful ancient Edeland could be turned into a perpetual abode of violence where the sacredness of the lives of fellow human beings means nothing to some desperado political power mongers.

Meanwhile, Osun State Police Command has arrested five alleged attackers of the convoy of Osun’s first lady, Mrs Kafayat Oyetola,.

Spokesperson of the command, Yemisi Opalola, said a security operative was injured during the attack.

The Police officer explained that the Chief Security Officer to Governor Gboyega Oyetola of Osun, CSP Dauda Ismail briefed the police team that came for reinforcement that “one Omolola Opeyemi, a driver from Ijebu-Ode, Ogun state, drove an unregistered truck and blocked the movement of the first lady.

The spokeswoman added, that as a result of the traffic blockage, some hoodlums took advantage and started stoning the convoy of the governor’s wife, thereby injuring the truck driver on his forehead and a DSS personnel.
