Hoodlums attack Oyetola’s wife in Ede

Hoodlums attacked the convoy of the wife of Osun Governor, Kafayat Oyetola, Friday night at Owode-Ede within Ede North local government area of the state.

The incident happened when the First Lady’s motorcade was heading to the capital Osogbo.

According to Vanguard, as security details alighted and attempted to make way, youths threw stones at the convoy.

The sounds of gunshots caused people around to scamper in different directions for safety.

The First Lady’s spokesperson, Iluyomade Oluwatunmise confirmed the injuries, adding that there was no casualty.

“The convoy was attacked at Owode-Ede while trying to navigate the traffic around the market.

“We believe it was premeditated as a list of some government functionaries marked for attack had been flying around on social media”, the aide said.
