Osun State governor, Ademola Adeleke on Wednesday escaped attempted assassination at Osogbo Eid praying ground.
Adeleke had arrived the venue of the occasion a few minutes before some hired political thugs attempted to attack him.
It took the intervention of the governor’s security aides to hurriedly move Adeleke out of the venue.
A media aide to the Governor, Sarafa Ibrahim who confirmed this to THE PLAINTRUTH, alleged that thugs hired by former Senator Ajibola Basiru attacked Governor Adeleke at the Osogbo Eid prayer ground.
“They came with machetes and all sorts of weapons at the Eid prayer ground. The governor was not even in Osun as he was in Lagos to have a meeting with the United States Consular General.
“He came straight to the Osogbo Eid prayer ground and upon citing him, they just mobilised. They even attacked the House of Representatives member for Osogbo/Olorunda/Irepodun/Orolu Federal Constituency, Maruti Adewale Adebayo.
“It was obvious that they already planned the attacks. SRJ is playing with fire. What they just did is treasonous. For them to attempt to kill the leader of a state'” he stated.
