Thugs attack, shoot Seyi Makinde’s convoy

In a shocking development, the convoy of Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, was attacked on Tuesday at Igangan in the Ibarapa Local Government Area.

The special assistant to the governor on print media, Moses Alao, confirmed the attack in a statement.

The attack was allegedly orchestrated by some opposition elements while the governor was heading to Tapa after addressing supporters at the Igangan town hall.

According to Alao, the governor was standing on an open-roof SUV to greet residents when some hoodlums started pelting the convoy with sticks and stones.

The situation escalated when the hoodlums brought out guns and started shooting sporadically at the vehicles in the governor’s entourage.

Alao expressed concern for families affected by the attack and emphasized that Governor Makinde is a man of peace and his ambition is not worth the loss of any life from the state.

He added that the attack was premeditated and carried out by opposition elements who hired street urchins to waylay the governor’s convoy with the intention of giving him a negative image among the people of Oyo state.
