The Council boss of Ogbomoso North Local Government Area of Oyo State, Mr Olamijuwonlo Alao-Akala has alleged he was attacked last night (Sunday) by PDP thugs in Ogbomoso town.
Olamijuwonlo, son of former Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala, who was one of the Council gaffers sacked by the Oyo state governor, Engr Seyi Makinde informed Mega Icon Magazine that he was attacked by these thugs numbering fifty on his way to his house from his guest house around 11pm.
The council boss further narrated, “I was coming from my guest house around YOACO area of Ogbomoso when I was ambushed by the over 50 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP thugs around 11 p.m. The attack took place very close to our council secretariat.
“I had to pass through the front of the LG, I was attacked by PDP thugs and they tried to machete me but my driver was quick to maneuver so the cutlass hit my side of the door, then they chased and attacked the back too”.
He continued, “I am a man of peace but the PDP must not take my peaceful nature for foolishness and timidity. It’s high time we jettisoned political brigandage. This is 21st century and we must embrace politics of development”.
Olamijuwonlo, who was briefly at Owode Police Station early this morning to report the incident officially, had resumed in his council office.
