The immediate past Commissioner of Works and Transport in Osun, Remi Omowaye’s campaign office in llesa was attacked by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP thugs in the earlier hours of Sunday.
There were gunshots at different places within the premises of the office, as the main door, glass windows, billboards and flags of the All Progressives Congress (APC) among other items were seriously damaged.
Similarly, another set of PDP thugs, led by one Sunday Amure a.k.a Irawo, also attacked the Chief of Staff to Osun State Speaker, Timothy Owoeye, Sunkanmi Obisesan.
He was attacked at Ifofin, in Ilesa, on Sunday afternoon. He has been rushed to Wesley Hospital, Ilesa, following the injury he sustained from the attack.
The attacks came less than 24 hours after the PDP-led government was accused of fine-tuning plans to unleash violence on Oyetola’s men.
Recalled that Omowaye, few days ago, narrowly escaped an assassination attempt launched on him and his supporters in Ilesa.
Addressing journalists shortly after his on-the-spot inspection of the scene, the former Commissioner described the attack as diabolic and inhumane, saying it is unfortunate that such ugly incidence had been launched twice on his person and property within two weeks.
Omowaye decried the incessant attacks on members of the APC since the inception of the PDP-led government in the State.
He said: “Just two weeks ago, there was an assassination attempt on me. And just yesterday, His Excellency, Adegboyega Oyetola branched over in Ilesa on his way from the Presidential Campaign rally of our party in Akure to attend the sensitisation programme that I convened to educate our members on certain things as regards the forthcoming general elections.
