Three Hospitalised After Suspected APC Thugs Attack ADC Meeting In Ondo

Thugs allegedly loyal to the All Progressives Congress (APC) have attacked members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) during a ward meeting in Ondo State.

The incident, which occurred on Wednesday at Ward 8 in Akure South Local Government Area, left three ADC members injured, while several others narrowly escaped.

Confirming the attack to SaharaReporters on Wednesday, the ADC chairman in the state, Asiwaju Wole Ademoyegun, described the development as a brazen act of political intimidation.

He disclosed that the injured members had been rushed to the hospital for urgent medical attention.

Ademoyegun told SaharaReporters that the matter was reported to the B Police Division at Oke-Aro before being taken up to the Area Command in the state.

"We were holding the ward meeting at Ward 8 in Akure South Local Government when some hoodlums, believed to be sympathisers of the APC, stormed the venue and attacked us,” the ADC chairman said.

"The matter has been reported to the police. Initially, it was lodged at the B Division in Oke-Aro, since the ward is located there, but it was later transferred to the Area Command for further action.”

Despite the severity of the attack, Ademoyegun noted that no arrests had been made, fueling concerns among party members about their safety.
