Governor of the State of Osun, Mr Gboyega Oyetola; his wife, Kafayat Oyetola and some members of his cabinet were on Wednesday morning attacked by some hoodlums who pelted him stones.
The governor was attacked at Nelson Mandela Freedom Park in Osogbo, the state capital during the countdown to 2020 programme organised to usher in the New Year.
The programme ended some minutes after 1am after the thugs started throwing stones at the dignitaries including the governor.
Others attacked at the event were Osun State chairman of APC, Gboyega Famoodun; Secretary to the State Government, Wole Oyebamiji; and Commissioner for Special Duties and Regional Integration, Lekan Badmus.
The aim of those that unleashed the violence still remain unknown as at the time of filing this report. However, a suspect has been arrested by security agents in connection with the attack. (Punch)
