Osun APC Condemns Attack On Members By PDP Thugs At Ongoing CVR In Ikirun.

....Tasks Police To Arrest Spain, Others

The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned the attack of two of its members in the ongoing Continuous Voters' Registration exercise at the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Ikirun, Ifelodun Local Government Council Area of the state by the Peoples Democratic Party's(PDP) hoodlums.

It was gathered that the PDP political thugs led by the notorious leader of a dreaded 'One Million Gang', one Hassan Oyewo Abdullahi, attacked the APC Ward 1 councillor, Hon Taiwo Kazeem and another APC member, Oladimeji Olamilekan, with a short axe brought out from under his dress.

It was learnt that it was the intervention of the registrants at the INEC office that prevented the victims from being killed by the PDP hoodlums but after Abdullahi had succeeded in attacking the victims on the heads with his hidden short gun.

Information also has it that sensing that the suspects could be arrested by the Police, the former chairman of Ifelodun Local Government Council Area, Sarafadeen Awotunde popularly known as 'Spain' invaded the INEC office with his retinue of thugs and whisked away the suspects.

We are condemning the needless attacks of our members at the INEC office by the PDP thugs who were suspiciously acting on the order of Awotunde who is a self-acclaimed violent PDP thug in Ikirun and its environs.

We are appealing to the state commissioner of Police to, without further delay, arrest, investigate and arraign the suspects if only to serve as a deterrent to the other notorious political thugs across the state.

This shameful criminal conduct of Spain and his gang is inimical to public peace which is the potent reason they are not supposed to cohabit with the peace-loving people in the society.

It is necessary to effect the urgent arrest and arraignment of Awotunde based on his past records of self-confession that himself and his gang are always responsible for the disturbance of peace and harmony in the Ikirun axis of the state.

Awotunde should be made to tell the police to justify the escape of the suspects who assaulted the members of our party while carrying out their constitutional right of participating in the ongoing Continuous Voters' Registration exercise.
