Alleged attackers of Osun first lady’s convoy arrested: Police
The police command in Osun on Saturday confirmed that the convoy of Osun’s first lady, Kafayat Oyetola, was attacked by hoodlums on Friday at Owode in Ede. Five alleged attackers were nabbed, said the police.
Its spokeswoman, Yemisi Opalola, said a security operative was injured during the attack.
“On Friday, at about 8:30 p.m, the police received credible information that, at Owode, Ede Market expressway, some hoodlums were attacking the convoy of the wife of Osun governor,” stated the police. “The Divisional Police Officer ’A’ Division, Ede, promptly mobilised and led detectives to the scene where the team met CSP Dauda Ismail, the chief security officer to Governor Gboyega Oyetola of Osun.”
The police officer explained that CSP Ismail briefed the team that “one Omolola Opeyemi, a driver from Ijebu-Ode, Ogun state, drove an unregistered truck and blocked the movement of Oyetola.”
The spokeswoman added, “As a result of the traffic blockage, some hoodlums took advantage and started stoning the convoy of the governor’s wife, thereby wounding the truck driver on his forehead and also injuring a DSS personnel.”
