The Osun State Police Command has confirmed an attack on the convoy of the wife of Osun State Governor, Kafayat Oyetola, by hoodlums on Friday at Owode in Ede.
The Spokesperson, Yemisi Opalola, a Superintendent of Police, said in a statement on Saturday that a security personnel in the convoy was injured by the Hoodlums while five suspects were arrested by the police.
He said that police operatives were mobilized to the scene of the attack when the information was received that some Hoodlums were attacking the First Lady at Owode Market, Ede.
“On Friday, at about 8:30p.m, the police received credible information that, at Owode, Ede Market expressway, some hoodlums were attacking the convoy of the wife of Osun Governor.
The Divisional Police Officer ‘A’ Division, Ede, promptly mobilised and led detectives to the scene where the team met CSP Dauda Ismail, the Chief Security Officer to Gov. Gboyega Oyetola of Osun.
“CSP Ismail briefed the team that one Omolola Opeyemi, a driver from Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, drove an unregistered truck and blocked the movement of Oyetola.
“As a result of the traffic blockage, some hoodlums took advantage and started stoning the convoy of the governor’s wife, thereby, wounding the truck driver on his forehead and also injuring a DSS personnel.
“However, five suspects were arrested from the scene and investigation is in progress.
“Further development will be communicated later.” Opalola said.
