He stated that the greatest surprise was that political thugs and hoodlums infiltrated the place while the Governor is addressing the cowards and they started shooting sporadically, using machetes and throwing stones on the governor’s convoy.
Famurewa noted that the said Oyetola as a father of all and man of peace ordered his security details not to shoot as they quickly ran for cover noting that the political thugs and hoodlums destroyed all the vehicles on the Governors convoy while some of the people attached to his convoy sustained injury and the hoodlums loots Osun mall and orisunbare market which lead to the fire that raised the post office.
