Kafayat Oyetola

Hoodlums attacked the convoy of Osun State governor’s wife, Kafayat Oyetola, on Friday night in Owode-Ede, Ede South Local Government Area of the state.

The fracas began after a truck blocked the road on which the convoy was passing when they got to Owode market junction.

An eyewitness quoted by The Nation said some of the security operatives attached to Mrs Oyetola got injured.

Spokesperson of Oyetola’s wife, Iluyomade Oluwatumise, confirmed the incident. She however did not reveal the number of security aides that sustained injuries.

She said, “All I can tell you is that no life was lost in the incident. I can’t tell you the number of security operatives that were injured but some of them that were attached to the convoy sustained various degrees of injuries.”

Governor Gboyega Oyetola lost the election conducted last month to his main challenger, Ademola Adeleke.
