One person was killed and many others were injured – one of them seriously – on Wednesday during the People Democratic Party congress in Osun State.
A party loyalist died in the bloody congress, an Osun Command of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) said late on Wednesday.
In photos obtained by MANDY NEWS, people were injured – one of them seriously.
The delegates are among those who were injured.
The incident occurred at around 4.40 pm, a few hours after Davido accused Seyi Makinde of importing thugs to be disrupt congress.
“It has been brought to my attention that certain individuals have imported thugs and their machineries to our dear state to intimidate delegates, i will like to reassure Imole supporters and All Adhoc delegates that there is nothing to fear.”
It was also gathered that as a result of the violence, several houses and vehicles were burnt at Ipetumodu, the headquarters of Ife North Local Government Area of the state.
