Tensions have escalated in Osun State ahead of Saturday’s governorship election following allegations by the All Progressives Congress (APC) that Dele Ayegbo, nephew of the party’s campaign Director-General, Wole Oke, has been gunned down
In a statement issued on Thursday, Osun APC spokesperson Kola Olabisi revealed that Ayegbo was k!lled on Wednesday night near his residence in the Idofin area of Esa-Oke, located in the Obokun Local Government Area.
According to the party, suspected hoodlums operating from a vehicle carried out the attack.
“The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned the killing of the party’s governorship campaign Director-General, Wole Oke’s nephew, Dele Ayegbo, in Esa-Oke, Obokun Local Government Council Area of the state on Wednesday night by the hit squad of the Accord Party who have been terrorising the members and supporters of the opposition APC across the state,” the statement reads.
“Information has it that Ayegbo was gunned down at the road junction close to his house at the Idofin quarters area of the ancient town by the Accord Party hoodlums who were riding in a car.”
Olabisi stated that two party members were targeted in the shooting. While Ayegbo d!ed instantly at the scene, the second victim sustained gunshot wounds and was rushed to an undisclosed local hospital for medical treatment.
Describing the violence as intolerable, Olabisi demanded immediate action from law enforcement agencies.
