Suspected Hoodlums Attack Osun First Lady’s Convoy
Mrs. Kafayat Oyetola’s convoy was reportedly ambushed by alleged hoodlums on Friday night.
Although details of the incident were still hazy at the time this story was filed, sources in Owode, Ede, the scene of the incident, claimed that Mrs. Oyetola’s convoy was traveling to Osogbo and was in the area of Owode Market when intermittent gunshots were heard on Friday night at 8 o’clock.
Alayande, a local resident who wished to go by only that name, told Objectv Media on Saturday that a truck had caused a traffic obstruction when the caravan arrived at the Owode market crossroads.
A fight broke out between the security personnel who were part of the convoy as they attempted to get the truck driver to go.
“It was while trying to make the truck driver to move that altercation ensued between security men attached to the convoy.
“I heard several gunshots where I stood near the junction. It was dark but there was altercation between security men and some people suspected to be hoodlums,” he said.
Osun police command spokesperson, Yemisi Opalola, has not responded to text message sent to her on the matter as of the time of filing this report.
But Information Officer to the office of the First Lady, Oluwatunmise Iluyomade, said the convoy was attacked.
She said “No life was lost in the incident. Some security personnel attached to the convoy sustained various degrees of injuries.”
