Unknown gunmen in the early hours of Monday invaded the private residence of the Labour Party gubernatorial candidate, Lasun Yussuff in Ilobu, Irepodun local government area of Osun State.
The unidentified gunmen, it was reported, shot at the building located in the Oke-Ima area of the town less than 24 hours after Yussuff participated in the governorship debate hosted by Channels TV.
Sources revealed that the attackers came around 2:00 am and shot sporadically before the security agents attached to the building were able to repel them. They added that no one was injured.
Meanwhile, the spokesperson of the Osun governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, Ismail Omipidan has revealed that Lasun Yusuff was no threat to the governor’s second term ambition.
Oyetola said this in reaction to the allegation made by Yusuff on a radio programme in Osogbo on Monday that the attackers were on an errand by the state governor who wanted him eliminated.
Omipadan stated that since there was adequate security attached to the former lawmaker, the attack would not have been successful.
The Osun governor’s spokesperson also held that the narrative of the attack by the former Deputy Speaker was regrettable.
Meanwhile, the Force Public Relations Officer, Prince Olumuyiwa Adejobi reacting to the shooting stated that he has asked the Osun State Police Command to investigate the matter urgently.
