#OndoDecides2020: Many Dead As APC And PDP Supporters Clash In Owo [PHOTOS]

#OndoDecides2020: Many Dead As APC And PDP Supporters Clash In Owo [PHOTOS]—-Just before the Ondo election, Ipele community in Owo LGA of Ondo State on Tuesday experienced political violence like never before between supporters of the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Eyitayo Jegede and that of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

In a statement through his campaign’s Head of Media Research, Kayode Fasua, he said the political thugs suspected to be from the camp of the ruling All Progressives Congress attacked his supporters on arrival with the Divisional Police Officer, DPO backing them all through the attack.

In reponse to this, the camp of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has accused the PDP candidate of instigating the attack in the community and are only crying more than the bereaved.

The Spokesperson of the Akeredolu/Aiyedatiwa Campaign Organization, Olabode Richard Olatunde had this to say:

“Eyiyato Jegede SAN, ordered his thugs to unleash coordinated attacks on the innocent people of Ipele and Ijebu in Owo local government area. Our people were traumatized with the sound of gunshots sporadically by Eyiyato Jegede thugs in Owo today.

 

“Sensing that the PDP might be in the main town, Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, ordered his campaign convoy to take another route out of the town.

“Despite this, Eyitayo Jegede and the PDP still went ahead to cause mayhem in Owo by attacking innocent members of the public and anyone with APC or Akeredolu branded caps or T-Shirt.

“No fewer than 20 cars were destroyed and many innocent people of Ipele and Ijebu Owo injured. Motorcycles were burnt and the streets of Ipele littered with shells of bullets.

“This intimidation to scare the people of Owo from coming out to vote massively for their son will not work. The people are resolved to support Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu.

“We must also note that the PDP went berserk when no one received them into Owo. They obviously prepared to come into the ancient town for attacks and violence not to campaign.”
