Hoodlums have attacked a vehicle belonging to the lawmaker representing Okitipupa Constituency I in Ondo State House of Assembly, Chris Ayebusiwa, in Akure, the state capital.

Ayebusiwa said his GAC official car was attacked by some hoodlums on Oba Adesida Road in Akure on Saturday.

The lawmaker added three of his aides, including the driver and security officer, were inside the vehicle during the attack.
