Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic party wishes to draw the attention of the Inspector General of Police, the Director General of the State Security Service and members of the public to the series of violent attacks on leaders and members of our party in Osogbo Local Government in the last few hours.
Earlier today, a leader of our party, Alh Fatai Diekola was attacked by thugs and later abducted by security personnel on the instruction of the Attorney General of Osun State Basiru Ajibola around Alekunwodo area Osogbo.
Alh Diekola had gone to meet with party members in Ward 5 area of Osogbo ahead of the supplementary election ordered by the Independent National Electoral commission.
As we write, the whereabout of Alh Diekola is unknown.
Several other members of the PDP were injured in the attack as the thugs and security agents, Civil defence personnel in particular, shot sporadically into the air.
The said Basiru Ajibola is notorious for acts of violence and had boasted severally that the supplementary election would be a walk over in Unit 17 of Osogbo Local Government because PDP members and supporters would not be allowed anywhere near the voting centre on the day of election.
We call on the Inspector General of Police and Director General of the DSS to take swift action against the sponsors and perpetrators of violence to safeguard the fragile peace of our dear state.
