The Osun State All Progressives Congress Governorship Campaign Council on Sunday demanded probe into the death of one Taliat Simbiat during the Accord Party primary for Ayedire/Iwo/Olaoluwa Federal Constituency held in Iwo, Osun state.

The Head, Media and Publicity Committee of the Governorship Campaign Council, Remi Omowaiye, in a statement obtained in Osogbo, alleged that the deceased was killed during the Accord Party primaries held in Iwo, saying violence and destruction of property marred the exercise in the state. Omowaiye said reports emerging from different parts of the state paint a disturbing picture of chaos and bloodshed arising from the exercise.

“Internal party primaries are expected to be a celebration of democracy and an opportunity for members to freely choose their representatives,” he said. “several members of the Accord Party and innocent citizens have suffered varying degrees of injuries, while lives have reportedly been lost as a result of the violence that accompanied the exercise,” he added.
