Unconfirmed report says two persons were injured on Thursday during an alleged attack on the convoy of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo in Ilorin, Kwara state.
Although details of the incident were yet to be ascertained officially, security sources confirmed the incident occurred around Isale Aluko area of the metropolis where Osinbajo had gone on his door-to-door campaign in the state capital.
A police source who craved anonymity explained that the incident actually occurred after the Vice President’s convoy had left the vicinity.
Meanwhile, the two major political parties in the state, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) today blamed each other for the attack.
While the APC claimed the attack on Osinbajo was masterminded by PDP elements, the latter insisted that the attack stemmed from disagreement on how to share money allegedly given to political thugs working for the APC.
When contacted, the spokesperson for the state’s police command, Ajayi Okasanmi, said he was yet to be briefed about the incident adding that he would make an official statement once he clarified the issue.
