The campaign council of the All Progressives Congress for the Osun governorship poll has demanded the arrest of the assailants who reportedly killed Oladele Ayegbo, a nephew of the Director-General of the council, Oluwole Oke. Addressing journalists in Osogbo on Thursday, the Head of Media and Publicity of the council, Remi Omowaiye, said the party had lost about 40 members to extrajudicial killings in different parts of the state in recent weeks.

Omowaiye, who chronicled a series of killings involving APC members that occurred recently, said some suspected hoodlums working for the Accord Party also attacked members of the party in Alarere village in the early hours of Thursday. “Yesterday, (Wednesday) the nephew of the Director-General of our campaign council, Honourable Oluwole Oke, Ayegbo Oladale and Taiwo Oluwadele were shot around Honourable Oluwole Oke’s family compound in Esa-Oke.

“Unfortunately, we lost Ayegbo Oluwadele while Taiwo is still in a very critical condition. Just this morning again, an associate of Honourable Sanya Omirin and three others were attacked.
