The Police Command in Osun State has confirmed the attack on the convoy of Mrs Kafayat Oyetola, wife of Osun Governor, on Friday at Owode in Ede.
In a statement made available to newsmen by Osun Police spokesperson, SP Yemisi Opalola, a security personnel in the convoy was also injured.
He revealed how no fewer than five suspects were nabbed by the Police in connection with the planned attack on the convoy of the wife of Osun Governor.
“On Friday, at about 8:30p.m, the police received credible information that, at Owode, Ede Market expressway, some hoodlums were attacking the convoy of the wife of Osun Governor.
“The Divisional Police Officer ‘A’ Division, Ede, promptly mobilised and led detectives to the scene where the team met CSP Dauda Ismail, the Chief Security Officer to Gov. Gboyega Oyetola of Osun.
“CSP Ismail briefed the team that one Omolola Opeyemi, a driver from Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, drove an unregistered truck and blocked the movement of Oyetola.
“As a result of the traffic blockage, some hoodlums took advantage and started stoning the convoy of the governor’s wife, thereby, wounding the truck driver on his forehead and also injuring a DSS personnel.
“However, five suspects were arrested from the scene and investigation is in progress.
“Further development will be communicated later.” Opalola said.
