Fresh APC violence rocks Ogun

Ibikunle Amosun, Governor of Ogun State

Another round of political violence was on Wednesday recorded in Ogun State. The violence occurred at Ota Town, Ado/Odo-Ota Local Government Area where suspected political thugs unleashed terror on the secretariat of a serving senator, Akin Odunsin.
Several people were allegedly hacked with matchetes and are now receiving treatment in a hospital.
The suspects were alleged to be working for a factional leader of the troubled All Progressives Congress, APC, the ruling party in the state.
As at the time of filing this report, the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Ikemefuna Okoye, had raced to the troubled spot in the company of DCP operations, Muhammed Abdulkadri; Area Commander, Titi Kayode; and Divisional Police Officer of Ota, Gabriel Idibie.
Several people including police officers were injured in a similar violence in the state last week.
