Hoodlums disrupted Saturday’s local government congress of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike’s faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State.
The PDP members were attacked at Bodija, Ibadan North Local Government Area of Oyo State and at other venues of the congress across the state.
A member of the faction, Julius Adekunle, said the hoodlums attacked almost all the designated venues of the congresses across Oyo State.
Adekunle said: “Reports from Ogbomoso North, Ibarapa Central, Akinyele, Ibadan North LGAs, among others, showed that not less than 10 of our members were attacked.
“Many vehicles and other property belonging to our members were also vandalised.

“The hoodlums also invaded the house of our party leader, Chief Hazeem Gbolarunmi, at Bodija, where property worth millions of naira was vandalised.”
The faction’s state chairman, Prof. Abdulrahman Akinoso, confirmed the incident and expressed concern over the development.
Akinoso described the incident as chaotic and called on security operatives to ensure those responsible were arrested and held accountable.
Meanwhile, the Oyo State Police Command had yet to speak on the incident as of the time of this report.
