One Shot As Gov. Dapo Abiodun Leads APC Campaign In Ogun
On Thursday, Governor Dapo Abiodun led the All Progressives Congress (APC) on a campaign tour to Odeda Local Government Area in Ogun State, where one person was reportedly shot.
The event was caused by occasional gunshots fired by opposing cult groups, according to the DAILY POST, increasing tension in the neighborhood.
According to reports, the gathering came to a sudden end as rumors arose that two people had been killed by cultists.
However, Abimbola Oyeyemi, the Public Relations Officer for the Ogun State Police, stated that no one was killed in the event.
The supremacy struggle did not happen when Gov Abiodun was still in the region for the local government election campaign, according to Oyeyemi, who verified that one person was shot by cultists.
He explained that once Abiodun had left, some hoodlums took advantage of the gathering to terrorize each other.
“It is not true that anyone died in Odeda while the governor went on campaign,” Oyeyemi stated in a phone call with a DAILY POST correspondent on Friday. It’s a complete fabrication.
“1#The governor went on campaign to Odeda, but he had even left before the fracas broke out between two rival cult groups. One person was shot, but he didn’t die. Nobody died. If anybody says the campaign team was attacked, it is complete misinformation. The governor had even left, almost 30 to 40 minutes before the incident.”
“You know when there is a gathering like that, some of these hoodlums will always take advantage of it to launch attack on each other. One person was shot and the person did not die. As I am talking to you, he’s in a very stable condition. He didn’t die, nobody died,” Oyeyemi empasised.
Asked if any arrest had been made regarding the incident, Oyeyemi retorted, “We are on it. Investigation has commenced and we are on the trail of the perpetrators of that crime. I am very sure, very soon we are going to get the person arrested.”
