OGUN ON FIRE AGAIN AS TWO SENATORS AND FIVE REPS ESCAPED DEATH FROM GOVERNOR AMOSUN'S SUPPORTERS

When I said it was a "mere crocodile tears" was the apology that Governor Amosun made when his supporters stormed the venue of the State Harmonisation Committee of APC and beat journalists and party supporters (not in Governor's Camp) as well as vandalizing properties belonging to the party and general public. Today Governor Amosun (uninformed supporters like Amosun admitted) again attacked the venue of a senatorial meeting convened by Obadara to sensitize the people of the area about the forthcoming membership registration of the APC. Senator Gbenga Obadara representing Ogun Central Senatorial District and Senator Akin Odunsi of Ogun West Senatorial District including some other House of Reps Members, Olumide Osoba (Obafemi/Owode), Adekunle Adeyemi (Ifo/Ewekoro Federal Constituency) and Remi Bakare, a former governorship Aspirant under the defunct ACN in 2011 escaped being hurt. Senator Gbenga Obadara orderly, Sgt. Sunday Akinbode was not so lucky as he was hit by bullet from gun shots of the thugs and gunmen of anti Osoba Group as he attempted to shield his principal Sen Obadara. As it stand, about ten other members of the Osoba group that attended the sensitization programme also sustained gun shots from the attackers. Just like the other attack, journalists were also caught in the melee. Journalists, including Sheriff Balogun (Thisday), Daud Olatunji (Vanguard), Dimeji Kayode Adedeji (Premium Times) and Segun Olatunji (Punch) also escaped death by the whiskers. The Secretary of the Ogun State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Mr. Soji Amosu took refuge in Senator Obadara’s SUV while the gunfire lasted. Although Senator Obadara alleged that Governor Amosun was responsible for the attack on him and a member of the House of Representatives (name withheld) also caught in the attack accused the police in the state of complicity.
