A chieftain of PDP in Osun State, Diekola, has been attacked by hoodlums suspected to be of the ruling APC.
Our correspondent gathered that some PDP thugs with some chieftain of the party had earlier come to Alekuwodo area to canvass for election.
However, some thugs also reportedly stormed the area with APC leaders to canvass for votes.
An unconfirmedreport said APC and PDP thugs came armed with guns and other weapons to the Alekuwodo area. Diekola who defected from APC to PDP recently was reportedly attacked later by the hoodlums. No one could actually say which of the parties engineered the crisis.
Diekola’s driver and another occupant of his car were also reportedly attacked with machetes as they shot indiscriminately.
The incident led to pandemonium as residents fled while some hid in their houses.
The Police PRO in Osun State, Mrs Folasade Odoro, could not be reached as her phone was switched off.
The PRO of Civil Defence Crops, Mr. Afolabi Babawale, when contacted said he was not aware the incident truly happened.
