Woman Injured in Accord Party Attack in Ibadan

On Wednesday, during a political procession in Molete, Ibadan, an unidentified woman sustained injuries when suspected hoodlums attacked members of the Accord Party. The spokesperson for the Accord governorship candidate, Samuel Ibikunle, known as Arugbo Boiz, reported that the procession began from the Bode area and faced trouble upon reaching Molete.

Ibikunle alleged that hoodlums threw stones and bottles at the party members in an attempt to intimidate them. Despite the provocation, he stated that the Accord members continued their procession.

The attack resulted in injuries to a woman, who was taken to an undisclosed hospital for medical care. Ibikunle informed that the incident was reported to the Oyo State Commissioner of Police, who responded by deploying additional security personnel to ensure the safety of residents and political supporters.

Ibikunle also mentioned that the group behind the attack was allegedly led by someone known as “Star Boy,” associated with either the All Progressives Congress (APC) or the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), although he did not confirm the specific party affiliation.
