Police in Osun on Saturday said that five persons were arrested in connection with the attack on the convoy of Kafayat Oyetola, wife of Osun State Governor Gboyega Oyetola.
Mrs Oyetola’s convoy was attacked by hoodlums on Friday at Owode in Ede area of the state.
In a statement by Osun police spokesperson, Yemisi Opalola, one security officer on the convoy was injured.
Opalola said, “On Friday, at about 8:30p.m, the police received credible information that, at Owode, Ede Market expressway, some hoodlums were attacking the convoy of the wife of Osun Governor.
“The Divisional Police Officer ‘A’ Division, Ede, promptly mobilised and led detectives to the scene where the team met CSP Dauda Ismail, the Chief Security Officer to Gov. Gboyega Oyetola of Osun.
“CSP Ismail briefed the team that one Omolola Opeyemi, a driver from Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, drove an unregistered truck and blocked the movement of Oyetola.
“As a result of the traffic blockage, some hoodlums took advantage and started stoning the convoy of the governor’s wife, thereby, wounding the truck driver on his forehead and also injuring a DSS personnel.
“However, five suspects were arrested from the scene and investigation is in progress.”
The spokesperson added that further development would be communicated later.
