Gunshots As Fayose Leaves South-West Congress

There was a lot of tension at the venue of the Zonal Congress of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) which held in Osogbo on Monday evening, following sporadic shooting reportedly by the police to clear out suspected hoodlums at the entrance to the venue.

Some suspected hoodlums at the entrance to the venue were heard calling the name of the ex-Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose, with threats to deal with him.

The incident, which coincided with the time when the vehicle conveying Fayose was leaving the venue, yielded panic as security men shot into the air to clear out the hoodlums.

Osun State Commissioner of Police, Wale Olokode, who led the security team that cleared out the hoodlums, also shot canisters while the hoodlums fled in various directions.

The vehicle that conveyed Fayose immediately the hoodlums were cleared was seen leaving the venue.
