No fewer than four passengers have sustained various degrees of injuries when gunmen attacked motorists along old Ila-Orangun/Ijabe road in Osun State on Sunday.
It was gathered the attacked vehicle was conveying some passengers to Ijabe community in Odo-Otin Local Government of Osun State from Ila-Orangun when it was waylaid by the gunmen who emerged from a nearby bush to fire several shots at them.
A security operative, who confirmed the incident, said a passerby informed men of Osun Amotekun of the dastard attack which prompted them to swing into action.
According to him: “They attacked the four passengers at the early hours of Sunday but the men of Amotekun arrived the scene after they got information about the attack. They engaged the gunmen and one of them was arrested but the four passengers sustained injuries.”
The Field Commandant of Osun Amotekun, Comrade Amitolu Shittu, confirmed the incident on Monday.
“One of the gunmen was arrested by our men while the four passengers that were attacked are currently receiving treatment.”
