PDP Demands Police Investigation After Ogun Attack
The People's Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the police of arresting its members in Ogun State following an alleged attack during the party's Ogun East campaign flag-off on Wednesday. Dr Abayomi Tella, the State PDP chairman, reported that the event began peacefully but escalated when hoodlums attacked the convoy in Ososa, resulting in injuries to several party members and vandalism of vehicles.
Tella expressed concern that instead of arresting the attackers, police detained at least five PDP members who were victims of the assault. He stated that the incidents were reported to the Idowa Police Division and Igbeba Area Command.
Tella appealed to Inspector-General of Police Olatunji Disu to send a special investigation team to Ogun State to examine the circumstances of the attack, including the type of firearm used. He emphasized that the PDP is a peaceful party and should be able to campaign without fear.
